Seniors show off research at Wisconsin State Capitol
Six UWL seniors gained valuable experience presenting their work Thursday, March 6, during Research in the Rotunda in the Wisconsin State Capitol.
Now in its 20th year, Research in the Rotunda showcases exciting new research happening throughout the Universities of Wisconsin, and shines a light on students and faculty who contribute to the state's strong economic future.
Students presented their research to legislators — including local delegates State Rep. Jill Billings and State Sen. Brad Pfaff — along with UW alumni and other state leaders and supporters.
The UWL students who presented were:
- Allie Fowle (Biology, mentored by Tisha King-Heiden): “The Neonicotinoid Pesticide Imidacloprid Has the Potential to Influence Fish Populations by Interfering With the Immune Response”
- Madeline Meltesen (Archaeology & Anthropology, mentored by Heather Walder): “Analyzing the Spatial Distribution of Lithics at Frog Bay Tribal National Park”
- Sabrina Neurock (Archaeology & Anthropology, mentored by Heather Walder): “Place-Based Archaeology at the Old Pageant Grounds in Miskwaabikaang (Red Cliff, Wisconsin)”
