A few years ago, biological sciences faculty member Daniel Baldassarre convinced SUNY Oswego to make an earth-friendly and bird-friendly decision to let some underused fields go wild to provide a home for bobolinks and other migrating species.

This year’s 3 Minute Thesis competition featured presentations on exceptional research from some of SUNY Oswego’s graduate students on Wednesday, April 2, in the Marano Campus Center auditorium.

Muhammad Musozoda is advancing sustainable, heat-resistant compounds, research that led him to a Ph.D. program at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Gabriella Patterson, a double major in wellness management and psychology, will present research at Quest on April 23 that examines how to better prepare students for success in college and beyond.

Graduate students presented their innovative research in a unique way during this year's 3-Minute Thesis competition.

For Katie Karlen, a SUNY Oswego dual major in psychology and public relations, a Quest poster presentation promoting a better understanding of neurodiversity comes from a longstanding interest.

According to research, every day about 1 in 5 Americans will experience some kind of microaggression or act of discrimination, especially against marginalized groups. Kayla Hoyt, a senior human resource management major, is researching ways to mitigate and prevent microaggressions as part of her Quest research and senior honors thesis.

On Feb. 19, meteorology faculty member Scott Steiger and SUNY Oswego students correctly predicted that lake-effect snow bands would blanket the campus and surrounding communities, but most forecasters said the heavy snow would hit 20 miles further south instead. Why is lake-effect snow so hard to predict? Steiger, who has been interested in the phenomenon since elementary school, explains.

Biological sciences faculty member Maria Sagot helped organize a first-of-its-kind workshop supporting important research across the Global South on an often-misunderstood yet ecologically vital animal.

SUNY Oswego’s Quest –- a day devoted to research and scholarly activity, this year centered on April 23 –- will feature a keynote address on the ecological activity and future of Lake Ontario from a renowned Cornell University researcher.
