伊娃Scholz-Carlson ’24 has many interests — neuroscience, rugby, and composing music for the 哥伦比亚观众 — that provide her with a distinct energy and passion.
The busy senior spends most of her afternoons immersed in assistant professor of neuroscience María de la Paz 费尔南德斯’s 神经生物学实验室, investigating a neuropeptide that is important in the synchronizing of circadian clock neurons, under the supervision of postdoctoral fellow Aishwarya艾耶.
Selected to participate in the 2023 贝克曼学者 Program — a 15-month award granted to a student for research mentorship in biology, 化学, or neuroscience and behavior — Scholz-Carlson has a schedule packed with lab meetings and conference travels. In November, she went to Washington, D.C.，参加 Society for 神经科学’s annual conference to learn about the most recent discoveries in the field. She is planning a trip to Puerto Rico in May 2024 for the Society for 研究 on Biological Rhythms' Biennial Conference to share research that she has completed in Fernandez’s lab via a poster presentation.
在这个视频中, learn more about Scholz-Carlson and how working with fruit flies, under Fernandez’s guidance, has helped her to see a connection between the smallest life-forms and human life.
