Congratulations PenguinThink Contest Winners!
The purpose of PenguinThink will be to involve incoming students with all the campus and community by using a mutual investigation associated with a common topic or theme which includes interdisciplinary collaboration and conference-style presentations for incoming students and in addition provides chance of colleges and programs to collaborate and share ideas with students across campus (First-Year Experience YSU).

CSIS Students To take part in 10-Week Summer Internship
Ryan Slavic, a senior in Computer Science Systems department, is accepted into an internship program (Cyber Fire Summer Program) in cybersecurity at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The LANL may be a highly prestigious strategic center known worldwide regarding their mission to “solve national security challenges through scientific excellence”.
Cyber Fire Summer Program may be a 10-week paid summer internship program using a concentration on the “Cyber Fire core pillars” of Network Archaeology, Host Forensics, Malware Analysis, and Incident Coordination. This program only accepts around endless weeks of frustration interns nationwide, it’s very selective and proves what our students in CSIS department is capable of doing in addition to the plans they’ve because of their future. For a program for a national laboratory, it will eventually place him at one of the most essential research facilities for our own government. This internship exemplifies a definite representation of what CSIS students are capable of in a very field they can be enthusiastic about and shows dedication to scholarship. This internship can even allow students to realize new perspectives about as being a global citizen when they will join other interns from across America and possibly from outside America to educate yourself about and solve problems inside cybersecurity field.
The first three weeks of the program involve morning lectures and afternoon projects to reinforce concepts. Weeks four through nine is made of group projects and occasional lecture on advanced topics. The tenth and final week encompass any exercise and also presentations: a mock incidence response presentation to senior management along with a presentation with the LANL Student Symposium, which can be similar to YSU’s QUEST and includes 100s of student interns from your lab.
As a part of the program, students work closely with lab employees to know the fabric and to solve the down sides i am given. During group projects, students are going to have mentors to help the crooks to completion. While in the group projects, students will be presented with real data to evaluate from historical cyber incidents. This analyzed results are presented in the mock incident report. Also, it is presented on the Student Symposium. These activities are important of the students during the program to ensure that you complete it. After the course, students present their findings to senior management in standard incident reporting format. The internship is going to take place from June 5-August 10 with both presentations taking place within the final week between August 6-10.
Tau Beta Pi Holds Engineers Week
Tau Beta Pi celebrated Engineer’s Week following March! Just about the most popular events held was the Pie Eating Contest for Pi Day! Mit engineers came out victorious this season, and Tau Beta Pi were built with a good prove! They’d a dodge-ball tournament, egg drop contest, pie eating competition, corn-hole tournament, and also a week-long penny war.

Estimating Competition
YSU STEM held its annual estimating competition. Estimating student teams were given a real-life construction project to investigate and make preparations a construction bid quite as we can once they were in this industry. Prior to case, faculty advisors work together with students, but on competition day, they are independently. Look at photographs in the event below!

Undergraduate Biology Students Present at Major American Society for Cell Biology Meeting
Biology students, and mentored by Dr. Gary Walker, presented their results on muscle-specific gene expression during myogenesis, the process of D muscle cell development from myogenic stem cells. They focus on titin expression. Titin is the largest known single polypeptide and it serves a number of functions in mature and developing myocytes (muscle tissues). It can be intracellular stress sensor. It will help to manage passive tension from the muscle cells, keeps the sarcomere structure order during contraction cycles. During development of the muscle tendon complex, it plays a part in the organizing and assembling principle unit of contraction, the sarcomere. The work currently is the premise of a manuscript in preparation. These three on the students are undergraduates in Biological Sciences, Angela Mossor, Victoria Silvis, and Nicholas Osborne.
When Angela was presenting, someone from NIH developed along her have the poster. After she’d finished someone enquired whether she was obviously a “post-doc” or simply a graduate student. The lady was very surprised to understand Angela was an undergraduate!
They identified expression of your specific isoform (variety) of titin, expressed normally only in cardiac muscle tissues, in your developing skeletal muscle cells.
This meeting was the annual meeting of a large scientific society the American Society for Cell Biology (
