Perceptions of College Campus Climate among Queer Female Sexual Assault Survivors

One-fifth of women in the United States report at least one lifetime experience of rape (Black et al., 2011; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014; Smith et al., 2018). Sexual assault (SA)is a common experience among cisgender women college students, with 20% reporting experiencing a rape during their time in college (Cullen et al., 2000). Universities generally have resources designed to help survivors of SA, though research suggests many of these resources are underutilized by survivors. The current study was guided by social constructivism and used a transcendental phenomenology approach to explore six queer, female participants’ decision-making processes about utilizing campus resources for support following SA. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants from multiple universities until information richness was met to develop an understanding of ways in which participants found their universities to be helpful and unhelpful in providing support for disclosing sexuality and SA survivorship to formal campus resources. Data analysis resulted in the generation of five themes: a) Questioning Belonging and Safety on Campus, b) Use of Formal Resources is Dependent on Trust, Reliability, and Past Experiences, c) Stigma and Hurtful Disclosure Reactions Negatively Impact SA Survivors, d) Heteronormativity Complicates Healing from SA for Queer SA Survivors, and e) Supportive Reactions and Community After SA Disclosure Lead to Connection and Healing. Findings from this study can be used to help inform and provide recommendations to universities to better support queer female students who have experienced SA and choose to seek campus resources

A Disc Electrophoretic Procedure for Separating Proteins of Marchantia polymorpha: Esterases.

Extracts from Marchanlia polymorpha were used in the development of a disc electrophoretic procedure for the separation of proteins. Dialyzed and fresh extracts were found to produce best resolution when electrophoresed in Tris-Glycine buffer (pH 8.3) and 50 millamps current for 45-60 minutes. The esterase enzyme system was used as an indication of separation. Significantly, 5 bands were detected in induced thalli attesting to the sensitivity and application of this method to developmental studies
