Westhampton Beach High School science teacher Dianna Gobler and two freshmen, Jack Halloran and Morgan Pilo, have been selected to participate in the summer “Imaging with a New Light” training at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The program will vastly expand science research opportunities for high school science students.
As part of the workshop, to be held June 25 to 29, Gobler and her students will take part in lectures and hands-on training related to sample preparation, data collection, data analysis, x-ray microspectroscopy, and microdiffraction.
With the training, the students will be able to submit a proposal to BNL to use the National Synchrotron Light Source-II with BNL scientists to further study dinosaur bones that they collected during a 2017 middle school science trip to Wyoming. During that trip, the students worked alongside scientists and researchers to dig in microsites and identify new Triceratops dig sites, tagged and found dinosaur vertebrae and skulls, and discovered a rare bird tooth.
Both students were selected for the BNL training because of their interest in science research, Gobler said.
“This is an amazing opportunity for our students. The technology will be useful for many other types of student research projects going forward, from environmental to human health,” she added.
