\u201cIt was an honor to review the contest submissions again this year. As a 溏心vlog免费B站 alumnus and a current member of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Alumni Association Executive Board, I am impressed by the variety and quality of the student, staff, and faculty work represented in this contest,\u201d said John J. Palumbo, one of the contest\u2019s judges, a 1976 graduate of 溏心vlog免费B站 and publisher of\u00a0Rhode Island Monthly<\/em>\u00a0magazine.<\/p>\n The other judges were Krisanne Murray, a 1995 graduate of 溏心vlog免费B站 and owner of Wakefield\u2019s Designroom, a graphic design, photography, and web services firm; Samuel Morrissey, a 2011 graduate of 溏心vlog免费B站 and co-owner of Endeavor Studios, a photography and videography firm; Kim Robertson, assistant director of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Department of Publications and Creative Services, and Nora Lewis, 溏心vlog免费B站 photographer.<\/p>\n The winning images will be published in the 溏心vlog免费B站 magazines. The winners are:<\/p>\n First Place: geological oceanography undergraduate student Matthew Palasciano \u201920 of Thomaston, Connecticut<\/strong>, for \u201cThe Endless Bond Between Mother and Child,\u201d a photo of a young macaque clinging to its mother at the local watering hole in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, where Palasciano was studying biodiversity, hydrology, and water resource management. He and two other students studied deforestation and illegal logging to understand the destruction it imposes on wildlife and its habitat. Palasciano plans to pursue a master\u2019s degree in coastal geology and business administration. He has his sights set on working in cultural resource management and as a professional shark diver in the Bahamas.<\/p>\n Second Place: Professor of Natural Resources Science Yeqiao Wang, for \u201cAll the Water Returns to Hall.\u201d<\/p>\n Wang is leading and engaging more than three hundred scholars and practitioners from 溏心vlog免费B站 and around the world to develop a multi-volume book series entitled The Handbook of Natural Resources<\/em>. This photo was taken during one of his field trips for the series. The photo shows a rural village home in southern China that is designed to collect rainwater from all directions through a rectangular opening in its sloped roof. The water is stored in a stone cellar underneath the central hall. This photograph showcases the wisdom of a sustainable rural routine presented by this hundred-year-old eco-friendly house.<\/p>\n Third Place: undergraduate marketing major and fine arts minor Laird French \u201921 of Kingston, Rhode Island<\/strong>, for \u201cRaining Sparks.\u201d This long-exposure photograph of burning steel wool being spun on a rope was taken using an 8-second shutter speed as part of a project for Photography 1 (ART 214). French plans to move to Hawaii and become a professional photographer\/videographer after graduation.<\/p>\n Three honorable mentions:<\/p>\n Graduate student Stephen Brenner, M.S. \u201918 of Buffalo, New York<\/strong>, for \u201cYellow Warbler.\u201d This photograph, taken in Manitoba, Canada, depicts research with the McWilliams Lab in Biological and Environmental Sciences monitoring the demographics, breeding success, and growth rates of long-distance migratory birds at the far northern reaches of their range in shifting habitats and climate.<\/p>\n Graduate student Riley Kirk, Ph.D. \u201923 of Charlestown, Rhode Island<\/strong>, for \u201cFungi Guttation,\u201d which shows a frost bolete mushroom that is experiencing a rapid growth phase. The yellow droplets on the pores are not dew, but the result of a process known as guttation: when a mushroom exudes fluid during high metabolic times. After this photo was taken in the Great Swamp Management Area in West Kingston, Rhode Island, the mushroom was collected and brought back to the laboratory for extraction and isolation experiments. Kirk is pursuing a doctoral degree in natural product chemistry.<\/p>\n Assistant Professor of Journalism Jason Jaacks for \u201cReef Manta,\u201d which he shot while free diving in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. The reef manta was cruising through a cloud of plankton. Jaacks, originally from Denver, Colorado, was working on a short film about sustainable fisheries practices in Indonesia, as part of a multi-year visual study of the biodiversity of the Coral Triangle region of the south Pacific.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kingston, R.I. \u2013 May 1, 2019 \u2014 The 溏心vlog免费B站 has named the winners of its second annual Research and Scholarship Photo Contest, which drew more than 120 entries that highlight the breadth and depth of the work 溏心vlog免费B站 students, faculty, and staff are doing around the world.
