Robbers Cave

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Optimal Foraging

Optimal Foraging

How animals obtain and eat their food is called foraging behavior. Foraging can include searching for plants and hunting for prey and depends on the species and environment.

Deindividuation

Deindividuation

Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Scanning Electron Microscopy

Scanning Electron Microscopy

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

Leaky Scanning

Leaky Scanning

During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

Archival Research

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Community Health
Urban Family Medicine

Background:

Family practice interns require comprehensive understanding of patient environments.
Traditional medical training often lacks focus on social determinants of health.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of community visits on interns' understanding of patient neighborhoods.
To assess the effectiveness of a
community scavenger hunt
intervention in medical education.

Main Methods:

Interns participated in four half-day community visits.
Structured observations of physical, social, and economic neighborhood factors were conducted.
Small groups of interns (2-3) explored several city blocks.

Main Results:

Community visits increased interns' awareness of patients' living environments.
The "community scavenger hunt" facilitated deeper neighborhood insights.
Residents showed heightened awareness of their patients and neighborhoods.

Conclusions:

Community-based learning enhances medical interns' contextual understanding of patients.
Immersive neighborhood experiences are valuable for family practice training.
Interventions like community scavenger hunts can improve health equity awareness.
