Three Gardner-Webb University science students took top prizes at the
spring meeting of the North Carolina Academy of Sciences at UNC
Greensboro last weekend.

Elizabeth Bacon won an award for research in zoology with her paper
entitled "Analysis of mating call acoustics and their relationship to
body biometrics in the grey tree frog, Hyla versicolor." Her research
advisors were Drs. Don Olive and James English.

Jessica Williams and Trey Miller also won an award for their research
with Susan Manahan and Drs. David Judge and Ben Brooks entitled
"Analysis of lycopene in varieties of fresh tomatoes and tomato products
using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC)."

In addition to these award-winning projects, other GWU science students
presented research at the program. They were Lauren Heune, Desiree Faneite,
Amber Bellamy and Arron Allison.
Student participants came from schools including Campbell, Davidson, ECU, Elon, Guilford College, Lenoir-Rhyne, Mount Olive, NC A&T, NC State, UNC-Greensboro, Pembroke, Wake Forest and Warren Wilson.

All of these projects were made possible by the Undergraduate Research
