SCIOTO This year the Ohio Academy of Science determined that Science Days would be held virtually due to restrictions related to the pandemic. It was determined that students could register to go directly to District Science Day (without needing to participate in their own school’s Science Day or in County Science Day).
The South Central Ohio Service Center’s Gifted Services Department offered to pay all registration fees for students to participate in District Science Day as a way of encouraging students to take part in this event. Students were required to create video presentations of their projects, submit research papers, and register with the Ohio Academy of Science in order to participate. Videos were 15 to 20 min

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Karen DeLong, associate professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture (UTIA), was recently presented with the Emerging Scholar Award by the Southern Agricultural Economics Association (SAEA). The award is presented to high-performing, early-career professionals with demonstrated research and resulting publication activity.
DeLong received the award in February at the annual SAEA meeting, which was held virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I graduated with a Ph.D. from the University of Alabama in 2013. I am now a tenured Associate Professor at Texas State University in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I have nearly 30 peer-reviewed publications in top-tier national and international journals. I have also been recognized and received awards such as The Emerging Scholar Award from the National Association of Communication and Most Promising Professor from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.
