Eric. J. Holcomb, Superinten- dent of Public Instruction Dr. Jen- nifer McCormick and Treasurer of State Kelly Mitchell invite Hoosier students to apply for the 2019 Gover- nor's STEM Team (#GovSTEMteam). Gov. Holcomb developed the competi- tion in 2017 to highlight Indiana's elite high school students for their work in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). "A firm foundation in STEM offers Indiana high school students tremen- dous career opportunities," Gov. Hol- comb said. "I am proud to celebrate those who demonstrate excellence in science, technology, engineering and math, and look forward to showcas- ing the talents and achievements of our students." The program honors four outstand- ing high school students for their ex- emplary performance in one of the STEM subjects. Winning students each receive a $1,000 college schol- arship from Indiana's College Choice 529 Direct Savings plan, administered by Treasurer Mitchell, and letterman jackets identifying them as members of the Governor's STEM Team. The submission period for the com- petition opens today, and applications and nominations may be submitted on- line at the following link: https://se- cure.in.gov/apps/govstemawards/. The deadline for nominations is 11:59 p.m. ET on March 31. "Engaging students in science, tech- nology, engineering, and mathemat- ics prepares them for life beyond high school," said Dr. McCormick. "I am ex- cited for the submissions we will re- ceive and look forward to recognizing our students' creativity and passion for STEM." "It is a joy to team up with the gov- ernor's office to celebrate the achieve- ments of so many talented Hoosier stu- dents," said Treasurer Mitchell. "We are honored to be able to award them with a CollegeChoice529 scholarship." The Governor's STEM Team builds on Indiana's Mr. and Ms. Math and Sci- ence awards, which were created by Gov. Mitch Daniels in 2008. The Gov- ernor's STEM Team program will honor the top high school students in STEM classes, as well as extracurric- ular activities, work/research projects, leadership roles and community ser- vice. The nominations will be reviewed by a panel of STEM experts, includ- ing teachers, college and university in- structors, and staff from the Indiana Department of Education and the State Board of Education. Winners will be announced at a statehouse ceremony in early May. Students, citizens sought for statewide tick hunts By Brian Wallheimer Purdue News Service bwallhei@purdue.edu Purdue University's Tick INsid- ers program is looking for 50 Indiana high school students and other Indi- ana residents willing to roll down their sleeves to get involved in a citizen sci- ence project. Cate Hill, a Purdue professor of en- tomology, leads this effort to analyze the bacteria and viruses in Indiana's ticks to build an understanding of what they are carrying and how that might impact human health. To do that, she needs volunteers to collect ticks from all over the state. This year the Tick INsiders program will provide training for up to 50 stu- dents. Citizen scientists are also now welcome to collect and send ticks to Hill's lab. "It's really important work. The Cen- ters for Disease Control and Preven- tion reports that human cases of tick- borne diseases doubled from 2004 to 2016. If we're going to get a handle on that and develop strategies for reduc- ing tick bites and treating patients, we need to know where our ticks are and what our ticks are carrying around in- side them," Hill said. "That means we need a lot of ticks, and we need help collecting them." Three species of ticks – the black- legged or deer tick, the lone star tick and the American dog tick – are found in Indiana. These ticks can transmit multiple pathogens, nine of which are known to cause human illnesses, though not all have been identified in Indiana. The Indiana State Depart- ment of Health reports more than 100 cases of Lyme disease each year and dozens of cases of Ehrlichiosis, ana- plasmosis and Rocky Mountain spot- ted fever. Research suggests that ticks can carry a cocktail of microbes – bacte- ria and viruses – that can sicken bite victims and may work in concert to af- fect the severity of an illness and hu- man immune response. "Not all tick bites are the same. We don't know what is passed from a tick to a human each time someone is bit- ten, which means that health care pro- fessionals may need to consider mul- tiple tick-borne pathogens in a person who has been bitten by a tick," Hill said. "This program improves our knowledge so that we can improve our outcomes." The Tick INsiders program is ac- cepting applications from high school students through March 15. Up to 50 students will be selected to take part in a one-day workshop from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., March 23, on the Pur- due campus to learn tick identifica- tion, field collection techniques, sam- ple preparation and ways to send ticks to Purdue for analysis. Beside the training, last year's Tick INsiders students visited campus in the fall, touring labs and learning about how their efforts improved un- derstanding of Indiana's tick popula- tions. Hill said this year's students will have the same opportunity. Students interested in the Tick IN- siders program should apply at tickin- siders.org/tick-insiders-application. Attending the workshop is not manda- tory for participation, but it is strong- ly encouraged. Indiana residents interested in par- ticipating can collect ticks and send them to Hill's lab for analysis. Videos on safe and proper collection tech- niques, as well as how to send ticks will be at https://tickinsiders.org/cit- izen-science-program.
