Kent DongUndergraduate researcher, summer 2022
Kent (Biology and Society, '23) is researching how pollen release varies as a function of environmental conditions. To do so, he is using a combination of field and growth chamber experiments and working with custom-built pollen measurement devices. These data are critical for predicting pollen release on sub-daily time scales.

Blue ShapiroUndergraduate researcher, summer 2022
Blue (Materials Science and Engineering, '24) is pioneering time-lapse photography methods to quantify how the rate of flowering varies across environmental conditions. Along the way, Blue has built his own chamber with adjustable temperature and humidity controls and has forayed into image analysis.

Sida ('Stark') HuangUndergraduate researcher, summer 2022
Stark (Health Care Policy, '23) is working to assess the accuracy of publicly available pollen forecasts. To do so, he is automating data extraction from commercial websites via APIs and web scraping and comparing them to empirical measurements. As part of this project, Stark is honing his expertise with Python, Docker, and Amazon Web Services .

Our vALUES

Lab philosophy
We believe that happy people do the best science and our lab is committed to being welcoming, supportive, and kind. We strive to make the world a better place both through our research and through our daily interactions with each other and our broader communities.
|
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion within our communities, beginning in our lab. We are following the Ten Simple Rules for Building an Anti-Racist Lab and expect lab members to be willing to have challenging but necessary discussions about how racism, sexism, and other biases affect us, our communities, and the research we do. These topics directly connect to dimensions of our research that include health equity and environmental justice.
Conversations on these topics are taking place both within SIPS and across the university and we promote participation in them. For example, much of Cornell's endowment was derived from land stolen from native peoples and there is an ongoing need to better address this legacy. |
