The event will feature displays, presentations and posters from UTC undergrads, graduate students and faculty. Community college students and community partners are also invited to present.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/research\/undergraduate-research-and-creative-endeavor\/conferences-and-events\/utc-spring-research-and-arts-conference\"><strong>UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference<\/strong><\/a> will be a one-day event rather than the two days of years prior. It will take place on April 12, in the University Center.<\/p>\n<p>To boost student awareness and participation, the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavor has launched a student and faculty class engagement program. The new initiative is aimed primarily at general education courses comprised of mostly first- or second-year students. Professors can offer extra credit to incentivize their students to attend the conference.<\/p>\n<p>Student participation benefits both students who visit the event and those who are presenters. With more student engagement, the presenters have more opportunities to share their work and hone their presentation skills. In addition to getting a little extra credit, students attending the conference will experience a program and may discover knowledge that will serve them well in the future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"726\" data-attachment-id=\"47500\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2023\/01\/utc-spring-research-and-arts-conference-research-dialogues-undergoes-a-makeover\/research-dialogues-22-61\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,726\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Angela Foster\/University of Tenn&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Research Dialogues, Tuesday, April 12, 2022 in the University Center.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1618303260&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;98&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Research Dialogues-22&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Research Dialogues-22\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Research Dialogues, Tuesday, April 12, 2022 in the University Center.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952-1024x581.jpeg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-47500 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952.jpeg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"height=\"1362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952-1024x581.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952-768x436.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952-580x329.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952-610x346.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952-1536x872.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Research-Dialogues-22-2071-e1672798675952-2048x1162.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The subjects of the presentations range widely. Last year, Hunter Smith presented a literature review on the use of wildlife detector dogs in turtle conservation. His poster outlined what his literature review found about the way sniffer dogs find turtles so researchers can document and conserve these turtle populations more effectively. Smith\u2019s presentation also addressed advantages and drawbacks of various breeds of detection dogs.<\/p>\n<p>UC Foundation Associate Professor Katie Hargrave presented on her 2021 exhibition, \u201cOver Look\/Under Foot,\u201d which was shown at Granary Arts in Ephraim, Utah. Her exhibition took inspiration from five national parks in Utah\u2014Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands and Zion\u2014and transformed the visitor experience and park culture into a multimedia experience.<\/p>\n<p>Turtle dogs and national park media art are just two among a long, varied list of topics explored by participants of the Spring Research and Arts Conference. Many student entries are based on research in a variety of sciences and healthcare fields. Those with graduate school ambitions get practice at conducting the research that is in their future, and they can bolster their research and presentation skills, too.<\/p>\n<p>Naina Patel, who graduated in December 2022 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in biology, is one of those students. At ReSEARCH Dialogues 2022, Patel presented on \u201cThe Effects of Fatty Acids on Antimicrobial Resistance in <em>Vibrio cholerae,<\/em>\u201d and her experience was overwhelmingly positive.<\/p>\n<p>Patel said the conference offered an opportunity she hadn\u2019t experienced before. \u201cI was nervous as this was my first time presenting my research to an audience that was not familiar with my work or the scope of it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Nerve-racking at first, Patel said, participating in the conference in 2022 better prepared her for the next steps in her education. \u201cIt prepared me to defend my departmental honors thesis against my committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Presenting her project at the conference allowed Patel to look at her research from another perspective and better understand her own work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned to break down the material to make it understandable, relatable and explain why my audience should care about my research. I was able to show how this research could be implemented in the healthcare field and the changes it could make.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41913\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"762\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"41913\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/04\/grad-student-wins-fellowship-to-protect-rare-and-endangered-flora\/thomas-wiegand-22-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/04\/Thomas-Weigand-22-04-e1672798748843.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"952,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Angela Foster\/University of Tennessee at Chattanooga&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Thomas Wiegand, Monday, April 4, 2022 in a Grote Hall lab.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1649070708&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;29&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Thomas Wiegand-22&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Thomas Wiegand in the Plant Ecology Lab in Grote Hall.

Take Thomas Wiegand, for example. He is a master\u2019s student studying environmental science at UTC and a Graduate Research Fellow at the National Science Foundation. His research focuses on the conservation of rare and endangered plant life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy undergrad experience at UTC was invaluable to me,\u201d Wiegand said. \u201cAs an honors student and a student in the Biology, Geology and Environmental Science Department, I was afforded many opportunities to conduct research, present my work at conferences and travel for academic study.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ReSEARCH Dialogues, the forerunner of the renamed UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference, gave Wiegand one of his first experiences in presenting research in a conference format.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy presentation was focused on my undergraduate thesis research. It was a fun experience and a nice introduction to the world of academic conferences,\u201d Wiegand said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a valuable springboard for young students looking for a first conference experience that can open up new opportunities to disseminate their work outside of UTC. It led me to apply to more conferences locally, regionally and internationally, and I&#8217;m thankful for it. As a result, I was able to meet countless students and professionals in my field with similar interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>*&nbsp; &nbsp;*&nbsp; &nbsp;*&nbsp; &nbsp;*&nbsp; &nbsp;*<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more about participating in or attending the spring 2023 conference by visiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/research\/undergraduate-research-and-creative-endeavor\/conferences-and-events\/utc-spring-research-and-arts-conference\"><strong>UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;page.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga\u2019s ReSEARCH Dialogues Conference has been renamed the UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference, and with a new name come a few changes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2023\/01\/utc-spring-research-and-arts-conference-research-dialogues-undergoes-a-makeover\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1493,"featured_media":47781,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48007,70,7712,52,661],"tags":[122303,122302,122208,48302,123080,89311,122301],"class_list":{"0":"post-47496","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-faculty-and-staff","9":"category-graduate-school","10":"category-research-academics","11":"category-students","12":"tag-hunter-smith","13":"tag-katie-hargrave","14":"tag-naina-patel","15":"tag-office-of-undergraduate-research-and-creative-endeavor","16":"tag-sam-lennon","17":"tag-thomas-wiegand","18":"tag-utc-spring-research-and-arts-conference","19":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
