Karin was one of only 13 students from a Florida college or university to receive the award this year. Nationwide, more than 5,000 students applied for the scholarship; just 413 were selected. \u201cThis is a real feather in the cap for Karin, and for Eckerd\u2019s science program,\u201d says William Szelistowski, Ph.D.<\/a>, associate professor of biology<\/a> and marine science<\/a> at Eckerd and the College\u2019s Goldwater Scholarship campus representative.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cIn Karin\u2019s case, the award is particularly notable as only about 15% of Goldwater winners get chosen as sophomores,\u201d he adds. \u201cTo be able to convince the national Goldwater committee that you are one of the country\u2019s very top young scientists after just three semesters of college is pretty remarkable.”<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Established by Congress in 1986 to honor former U.S. Senator and 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, the scholarship\u2019s aim is \u201cto provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians and engineers by awarding scholarships to college students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and intend to pursue careers in these fields,\u201d according to the program\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

But wait. There\u2019s more.<\/p>\n

The following Monday\u2014April 3\u2014Karin, a biology and chemistry<\/a> student from Los Alamos, New Mexico, was notified she was one of four Eckerd students to be awarded a 2023 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship<\/a>, bringing the school\u2019s total number of recipients to 109\u2014the most of any college in the country.<\/p>\n

The other three Eckerd students receiving Hollings Scholarships are sophomores Sydney Paull, a marine science student from San Diego, California; Elizabeth Oliver, a marine science and Spanish<\/a> student from Lakehurst, New Jersey; and Sophie Strock, a marine science student from Centerville, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

Since 2005, NOAA has selected students from around the nation to receive up to $9,500 per year for two years of full-time study and a 10-week, full-time, paid summer internship at a NOAA facility one year after receiving the award.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been quite a week,\u201d Karin says. \u201cI\u2019m mostly being distracted from my school work because it\u2019s exciting. I\u2019ve got to focus more on my work the rest of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n

A diligent, dedicated student, Karin in January combined a Winter Term course with an internship and spent the month working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City<\/a>. \u201cIt was my first time in New York,\u201d she says, \u201cand I got to learn how a natural history museum is run.\u201d<\/p>\n

She performed routine tasks\u2014including preparing specimens, scanning slides, preparing loans, tagging specimens, shelving specimens and checking preservative levels. But she also presented at five education and outreach events about herpetology and museum collections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI completed an independent research project on comparing brown anole evolution in their native and invasive range,\u201d she adds. \u201cAnd I spent a lot of time interacting with the curators and graduate students at the museum, exploring the amazing collection, and exploring New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her Goldwater research paper was based on work she had done last summer as part of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at the University of New Mexico. It focused on turtle ecology in the Middle Rio Grande Basin, examining the potential for competition between native turtles and the invasive red-eared slider using stable isotope analysis.<\/p>\n

Karin\u2019s passion for science began when she was about 5, \u201cand I fell in love with crocodilians,\u201d she explains. \u201cI liked dinosaurs, and crocodiles are the most epic extant archosaurs.\u201d This summer, she will take part in another REU program, this time at the University of Georgia. Her focus will be on disease modeling.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cShe is as bright as any college student I\u2019ve ever met,\u201d says Jeffrey Goessling, Ph.D.<\/a>, assistant professor of biology at Eckerd.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Karin is currently enrolled in one of Goessling\u2019s biology courses. \u201cShe really gets the scientific angle and is interested in big-picture questions about evolution and biology.\u201d Goessling, along with Lauren Vonnahme \u201910, a senior museum specialist at the American Natural History Museum, helped facilitate Karin\u2019s Winter Term<\/a> and internship programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not yet decided what area I want to be working in,\u201d Karin says. \u201cI\u2019m going to do some exploring. But I was surprised how much I liked working at the museum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindsey Fox, Ph.D.<\/a>, assistant professor of mathematics<\/a>, has Karin in her Probability and Statistics class. \u201cI\u2019ve never met a student quite like her,\u201d Fox says. \u201cShe\u2019s brilliant. I\u2019m often asking myself where she has the time in the day to do what she does. She\u2019s doing two projects on the side with other professors and a side project with me \u2026 how many projects can she do at once? She has a very broad skill set. It\u2019s really incredible. I always come to class prepared for her to ask me questions I won\u2019t know the answer to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox envisions Karin as a top research scientist, possibly in the field of computational biology.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe keeps me on my toes,\u201d Fox adds. \u201cBut only once or twice in a career do you get a student like this. What she\u2019s done in her first two years is amazing.<\/p>\n
