This week, WKU students Logan Stewart and Matthew Poynter discuss their research on modeling one-dimensional wave equations of vibrations on a string. Then, Kaylee-Dee Long (Georgetown College) describes her research on corticotropin-releasing-hormone production in Red-Sided Garter Snakes during their mating and migration seasons. These researchers all received awards for their presentations at the annual Kentucky Academy of Science conference held in November, 2021.

Finally, astronomy/physics professor J. Scott Miller fills us in on what to see in the night sky in January, 2022.
