To Oftta r 'O better understand body's soft tissue DeDecker breaks kneecaps for science A 1991 graduate of Davis High School has won a University of Utah undergraduate research fellowship to break kneecaps in the name of science. Troy D. DeDecker, son of i i Parrish obtains master's degree Norm Parrish, West Bountiful, completed requirements for a master of education degree in health, physical education and recreation from Utah State University, He attended Viewmont High School and earned a bachelor of arts degree in social science education from Northwest Nazarene College in 1987, For part of his master's requirements at USU, he completed a creative project, Junior College Recruiting Handbook," a guide to some key points and steps in junior college basketball recruiting. Parrish played collegiate basketball at Ricks College and Northwest Nazarene College. He is head basketball coach at Salt Lake Community College. Dennis and Sherilyn DeDecker, 447 E Twin Creeks Circle, Kaysville, is a junior majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry. With a $310 Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program winter quarter fellowship, DeDecker works in partnership with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Robert T. Burks, assistant professor of surgery, and orthopedic bioengineering laboratory director Dr. Kent N Bachus. To better understand how soft tissue helps stabilize the kneecap, DeDecker attaches knees from cadavers to a machine that pulls the kneecap laterally. He notes the force needed to displace the knee and studies where tendons and ligaments break. It should be helpful in healing to know exactly where the break is, he says. Potentially this study could also help prevent knee injuries and reinjury. We began in November by first designing the device to hold the knee in the machine more bioengineering than pure biology. Before the kneecap project. undergraduate researchers. interests reflects a habit DeDecker began at Davis High School, where he enjoyed a variety of classes. One of my favorite teachers was Marian Storey, my advanced placement English teacher, he says. She fostered my humanity, influencing the reading I do in my spare time and preparing me for university writing. He describes former biology teacher Tim Hunt as a friend even more than a teacher. years national conference on With plans to attend medical school, DeDecker discovered the e laboratory job last June after searching for the key word part-tim- medical in a computerized listing of university research projects wel- coming undergraduate participation. The job has worked out well, says DeDecker. Im not just earning money and getting letters of enjoying the overlap of learning material in class and on the job. I took an anatomy course fall quarter and at the same time was disarticulating spines in the lab, which reinforced my classroom lessons. This work is nice exposure to orthopedic medicine, although Im also interested in psychiatry and neurology. I dont see myself as totally I intermix classes in humanities, fine arts and science so the right and left sides of my brain stay in balance. I like literature, especially Gothic, existentialist and mythology, as well as outdoor recreation such as rock climbing, snowboarding and mountain biking. Chasing bison is illegal. On the remote Henry Mountains of American bison herd in North Utah, home to the only America, iris an increasingly popular practice to follow and chase these magnificent animals from horseback or ATV. We encourage viewing buffalo but from a distance says Kevin Conway, DWR regional enforcement officer. The law prohibits harassment of any game animal, an puts chasing wildlife in the same category south-centr- al free-rangi- ng -- scienc- e-oriented. Anyone found deliberately chasing buffalo will be cited, warns Conway. Officers will be patrolling the Henry Mountains this spring to prevent this practice. workshop April 19 Self-estee-m The field of medicine appeals to me because it relates to people.

DeDecker did fatigue tests of polymers used in artificial finger joints and studied bone mineral density of vertebrae. He plans to develop his own research project on bone strengths during spring or summer and possibly present a paper at next The breadth of his university Advanced placement biology teacher Corine Sayler gave DeDecker his first real exposure to scientific laboratory work with projects ranging from genetic studies of fruit flies to centrifuging canine reproductive organs in order to examine DNA. 90 About Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program fellowships are awarded each year.
