Most of her work involved\u00a0taking photos with a high powered microscope of mice to track cranial\/oral malformations, specifically cleft lip\/palate and holoenprosensephely. The study focused on specific types of teratogens that are in the environment and how they can\u00a0influence developing cranial\/oral malformations in offspring. She is\u00a0excited to work at the Cheatham lab because of its focus on nutrition and how it can affect brain development.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Anna Silver<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheathamlab.com\/?attachment_id=2760\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2760\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cheathamlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Anna-193x300.jpg\" alt=\"Anna\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anna graduated as valedictorian from Northwest Cabarrus High School, where she was very involved in athletics, community service, and student government.\u00a0 She will be attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the honors program this fall.\u00a0 She plans to major in biology and then continue on to medical school.\u00a0 She has always found the neuroscience aspect of biology particularly interesting, so she is intrigued by the studies in the Cheatham Nutrition and Cognition Lab.<\/p>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Kierra Simmons<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>This past semester we asked Kierra Simmons, a graduating senior from A.L.

The researcher will show the child each step and ask the child to complete the steps as they are shown.\u00a0 Kierra had this to say about her time with the lab, \u201cThis internship took me back to my pre-school days. Imagining what I, as a small child, enjoyed about my favorite toys. The design that I chose was a toy that has a button that is pressed to release a sliding slab and on that slab will be a picture. Unfortunately, my design had minor malfunctions and needed more work than expected. As a perfectionist, this taught me that as an engineer I will not always have a design that works perfectly the first time. Even with that little hiccup, I loved my experience with the Cheatham Lab, and it will be something that I will remember forever.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kalei Woodford<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheathamlab.com\/?attachment_id=2761\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2761\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cheathamlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kalei-IMG_2707-e1472675499507-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kalei IMG_2707\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kalei is currently a senior at Lake Norman Charter High School where she is involved in clubs like history and photography.
