Lindsey Richardson ('09) and Molly McGinnis ('09)
worked in my lab as research fellows
in the summer 2008 Community of Scholars program.
They examined the effect of benzodiazepines on
licking responses to tastants under water-deplete and
water-replete conditions. They also conducted a study
examining the ingestive behavior for sweet tastants during
23-hr test sessions in obesity-prone, obesity-resistant, and
outbred "normal" rat strains.

Kimberly Smith ('08) collected whole nerve chorda
tympani responses to taste stimuli as part of her
2007-08 honors thesis project. |

('10), Christina
Jackson ('10), Covington Avent ('11), Phillip Neill
('11), and Chelsea
Nill ('11) worked in the lab during the Spring 2008
semester examining the effects of a high-fat diet on
the sensitivity to taste fatty acids in
obesity-prone and obesity-resistant rats.

Fall 2007
- Ivy Farr ('08), Hannah Dinnen ('09), Tyler
Toomes ('09) work on data analysis as part of their
research project examining the effect of
benzodiazepines on short-term and long-term tastant
consumption patterns. Hannah continues to work
in the laboratory and Ivy is a graduate student at
the College of Charleston. |

Cameron Corbin ('07), Meaghan Crawley ('07),
and Kimberly Smith ('08) are research fellows in the
Community of Scholars Program conducting experiments
in my laboratory during the 2006 summer. |

Cameron Corbin ('07) records data and operates the
MS-160 Davis Rig gustatory behavioral apparatus
during the summer of 2006. Cameron is
currently a graduate student in the Occupational
Therapy program at the Medical University of South
Carolina (MUSC). |

Meaghan Crawley ('07) learns about Morgan
Spurlock's perspective on the health of our country
in his book, Don't Eat This Book.
Meaghan is currently a graduate student at Tulane
University. |

Kimberly Smith ('08) prepares unconditioned stimulus
injections for the conditioned taste aversion
experiment during the summer of 2006. |

Lauren Murchison ('05) and Sara Shields ('05)
present their research at the 2005 AChemS
conference.
After Wofford, Lauren received a master's degree in Community Counseling
graduate program from Clemson and Sara completed the
Physical Therapy graduate program at MUSC. |

Hayley O'Connor ('05), Caroline Labban ('06), and
Abby Anderson ('05) present research at the 2005
