Overall Research Project Description | For this study, we will recruit human research participants between the ages of 18-45 who will complete three different study interventions. The interventions will include a consuming laboratory-prepared diets as well as providing education to guide participants' self-selected dietary choices. The goal is to encourage participants to modify their potassium and/or sodium intake to align with current dietary guidelines. After each intervention, participants will come to our laboratory in the Sandels building for a variety of tests including blood pressure measurements and tests for vascular health. Biochemical analyses will also be conducted. |
Research Tasks | Research tasks will include interacting with human research participants, data collection, data analysis, food preparation, conducting interviews, handling biological samples, biological sample analysis |
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: | Required skills: effective time management, effective written and verbal communication skills, proficiency in Microsoft Office, comfortable working with human research participants, comfortable handling blood and urine samples, willingness to learn, able to work as part of a laboratory team Recommended: basic understanding of kitchen/food safety, understanding of how to find and interpret research articles |
Mentoring Philosophy | My approach to mentoring centers on fostering student development to help them become independent and self-motivated. I aim to take a hands-on approach early on as students are developing the foundational skills needed to conduct research. My approach will become more hands-off as students progress in their learning to foster independence and critical thinking. Ultimately, my goal is for students to learn how to become curious, how to ask questions, and how to think for themselves. Knowing “how to think” rather than “what to think” is an important skill for academic and research success. |
