As she stood in front of her research poster at the Virginia State Capitol, Mallory Thompson felt both excitement and responsibility. The University of Mary Washington biology major wasn\u2019t just sharing findings from months of research and lab work, she was advocating for the future of cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a little daunting, as I never imagined my research would take me to the Capitol to speak with legislators,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cBut honestly, I had a great time! I loved sharing my research with attendees who showed interest in my poster and asked questions. It\u2019s exciting to think that my work might help people understand that conventional cancer therapies aren\u2019t always enough, and exploring other treatments could be a key to reducing recurrence rates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thompson, a junior, was one of three Mary Washington students selected to present a poster at the inaugural Undergraduate Research Showcase, held last week in Richmond. Seniors Hannah Shipp and Ada Moses, both psychology majors, also presented research, which explored how visual distractions impact test performance.<\/p>\n

Hosted by the Network for Undergraduate Research in Virginia (NURVa), the event brought together student researchers from 16 state colleges and universities, with more than 30 projects on display.<\/p>\n

Thompson\u2019s study, Methionine Restriction Promotes Immunogenic Cell Death in Breast Cancer Cells<\/em>, examined how limiting the amino acid methionine could enhance chemotherapy\u2019s effectiveness. Completed alongside faculty mentor and Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences Laura Sipe, the research has implications for developing dietary strategies that could improve cancer treatment outcomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Sipe worked one-on-one with me and is a great research advisor,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cShe generously dedicated many hours to our project, helping me understand the biological and physiological background. This really helped with data analysis and deepening my overall understanding of cancer and research.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project done by Shipp and Moses also flourished under the guidance of faculty. With online testing becoming more common, they investigated whether elements like an on-screen timer could negatively affect students \u2013 particularly those with test anxiety. Conducted under the mentorship of Assistant Professor of Psychological Science Marcus Leppanen, The Impact of Visual Distraction on Computer-Based Test Performance<\/em> proposed that simple changes to online testing environments could help students perform to the best of their ability.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresenting research at the Capitol was an exciting experience, especially getting to see such a wide variety of research topics,\u201d Moses said. \u201cIt was encouraging to have conversations with attendees about how distractions impact test performance. I hope our findings help support better testing environments, especially for students with learning difficulties.\u201d<\/p>\n

College of Arts and Sciences Assistant Dean Betsy Lewis, who accompanied the trio of UMW students on the trip to Richmond, said the group was proud to represent Mary Washington at the State Capitol. \u201cThey not only enjoyed interacting and networking with fellow scholars from across Virginia,\u201d Lewis said, \u201cbut they also gained valuable experience that will shape their future academic pursuits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thompson shared her plan is to become a radiation oncologist, \u201cso this research will pair nicely with the learning I still have left,\u201d she said. Moses revealed her work on test anxiety \u201chas fueled my curiosity to seek out research in supporting my questions through evidence\u201d and led her to further her education through graduate school.<\/p>\n
