  mentoring_philosophy: 'I strive to help students become critical thinkers who ask questions, pay attention to details, and discuss science and scientific results from multiple angles.  I encourage students to show initiative in their work and in their approach to science through a lab atmosphere that emphasizes reading scientific literature and discussing scientific questions and approaches. Everyone in the lab is encouraged to think about the research objectives and how the objectives may be achieved. I work with students to plan experiments or find solutions for problems that arise, but I encourage students to work independently to perform experiments after training.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'Sleep fragmentation and chronic insomnia are significant public health concerns that affect millions of children, teenagers and adults. Sleep fragmentation impairs learning and cognitive performance, increases disease risk for many diseases, and aggravates neurological disorders. We are interested in the neural and molecular consequences of chronic sleep restriction. We seek undergraduate research assistants to help investigate the impacts of chronic sleep restriction in a mouse model. '

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: 'Student will be assisting with chronic sleep restriction experiments and tissue collection. Student will need to complete training necessary for working with animals on an animal care protocol. Student will be responsible for checking on animals when assigned, assisting with sleep restriction and maintaining accurate records of weight and behavior. Student will also be expected to learn basic molecular skills in the laboratory in preparation for assisting with molecular experiments. Student will also help with lab maintenance, be expected to read assigned literature, and attend weekly lab meetings. This project requires all in person work. '
