Video Contest Award Winners – 2019

2019 ERN Conference Video Contest* Award Winners

*Please review the Video Contest Rules and Disclaimer.

 

First Place

How do mothers learn to respond to their child’s cry?
Katherine Furman – New York University – Undergraduate, Neuroscience

 

This video outlines the way that mothers learn to respond to their child’s cry, and explains the role of Oxytocin in this process. Experiments done in mice are demonstrated in the context of how they relate to human social interaction.

 


Second Place

Cardi B Bodak Yellow Bacterial Cloning Parody
Bethanie-Michelle Statler – Univ. Illinois at Chicago – Graduate, Biology

 

In this video I summarize key parts of bacterial cloning including manipulating DNA using restriction enzymes, creating a plasmid, and transforming it into bacteria.

 


Third Place

Devante Dawson in Marine Microplastics
Devante Dawson – Tuskegee University – Graduate, Environmental Science

 

An introduction into microplastics and their impact on the environment

 


Honorable Mention

M3UI – Multimodal Visual Languages User Interface
Athena Willis – Galludet University – Undergraduate, Computer Sciences/IT

 

We evaluate a new English and ASL UI to present information in an easily consumable and searchable form for academic articles. Developing an UI that reduce user effort while searching for information in academic ASL articles will provide with an accessible technology model for deaf signers.
