Amy Chen — the URECA researcher of the month for October — is an information systems major in the WISE honors program, minoring in environmental studies. In March 2025, she began doing research under the mentorship of Guanyu Huang, an assistant professor in the Program in Public Health and the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, which was supported in Summer 2025 through the SUNY SOAR undergraduate research program. Chen’s research project began with establishing an ozone bioindicator garden, collecting leaf samples, photographing foliage across multiple sensitive plant species and documenting damage progression throughout the growing season. She then worked on developing an AI-based system to detect ozone injury on plants using observations from the ozone garden. Chen presented her research on “Development of an Ozone Bioindicator Garden and Automated Detection of Ozone-Induced Leaf Damage Using Convolutional Neural Networks” at the Summer Symposium 2025 at the end of the 10-week program. She continued with her research and went on to present at the 106th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas, where she won a best student poster award. This past August, Chen gave an oral presentation in Boulder, Colorado, at the National Ozone Garden Network Conference. She is...

Scientists in Utah have discovered a brand-new species of roundworm in the Great Salt Lake. The worm lives in the lake's salty mud structures and appears to be unique to that environment. It may play an important role in the ecosystem as a bioindicator...

We barely notice them. A flash of blue above a pond, a lightning-fast trajectory through a garden, and they are already gone. Though discreet, dragonflies attract interest from a wide range of discipl...
