COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS
1. Two ongoing projects with Woodford High School and Wolf County High School. These schools have take on a thematic approach to science education. They are using the crayfish as a model organism in studying, behavior, life cycle, environmental impact on crayfish, and economic use in modeling of shrimp farming. I will be working closely with the teachers and their students on their projects over the Fall 2007 and Spring 2008 terms. See www site: http://www.as.uky.edu/Biology/faculty/cooper/TFC/crayfish.htm

2. Bluegrass Chapter - Society for Neuroscience- Brain Awareness Week. Participation in educating parents and children at the Children's explorium in how the brain works and functions. Individual stations were designed to teach children about sensory and the different parts of the brain, as well as reflexes and ways to help in healthy brain development.

3. Children's Explorium - Participation in educating parents and children by designing and conducting a presentation. The presentation demonstrates evolutionary traits in two differing populations of crayfish, as well as teaches about sensory adaptations.

4. Bluegrass Chapter - Society for Neuroscience - Town-hall Meeting.

5. Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Bluegrass - Participation in helping a child with individual attention.
