Want to know what time is best for your body to exercise? Want to help out two students with their senior seminar projects? Then we have a study for you!

We need volunteers to participate in a study that relates the time of day exercise is performed to sleep quality. Participants of all fitness levels may choose two days of the week to exercise in the morning hours, rest a day, and then work out two days in the evening hours. They will then track their sleep with an app.

All communication is done through email, and participants can choose their type of exercise based off the heart rate requirements. If you are interested, contact April Kluthe at akluthe17@georgefox.edu.

If you have concerns about a traditional undergraduate student, log into Fox360 to submit an “alert” for the student. Submit alerts for concerns in the following areas:

• Academic – Missing multiple classes; consistently poor academic performance
• Behavioral – Concerning or disruptive behaviors in or outside of class
• Emotional – Mental health concerns; unusual emotional expression
• Physical – Medical concerns; extreme changes in grooming, personal care
• Social – Personal, social, or family concerns that are affecting well-being and performance

We ask that faculty not send an alert if a student is doing poorly in a class unless you have cause to believe the student might be performing poorly in other courses. A preferred first step is for professors to communicate directly with students who aren’t performing well.

This Fox360 Quick Guide provides a visual overview of the Fox360 system; more details about using Fox360 are available in this Google folder.

If you have questions about the process or are unsure whether to submit an alert, contact Jere Witherspoon (jwithers@georgefox.edu) or Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu).

Join us for a guest lecture, “A Network of Genes that Regulate Epidermal Integrity: What Can Roundworms Teach Us About Tissue Development?,” on Tuesday, March 10, from 3 to 3:50 p.m. in EHS 102.

In the process of discovering the genes that contribute to holding the roundworm’s skin together, we found an unexpected connection to Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disorder. We identified a novel genetic network and putative protein components of the embryonic extracellular matrix required to maintain epidermal structural integrity in response to biomechanical forces experienced by C. elegans embryos.
