Andrew Bazuro is a member of the class of 2025 and is at St. Lawrence University pursuing a degree in Biomedical Science with a minor in Chemistry and Statistics. He has worked in several labs in the past and has most recently interned at Yale where he was able to work with an Associate Professor of Medicine. After graduation he hopes to attend graduate school and continue learning so that he can perform statistical analysis and perform biological research in the lab.
My name is Mileena Blazonis but most people call me Em. I am going into my senior year at St. Lawrence university. I am a computer science major with a chemistry minor, although when I started college, I had plans to major in chemistry. When I took my first computer science class in the fall of my sophomore year, that is when I knew that's what I wanted to pursue. Currently my goal is to become a video game designer, but I would be happy working in any part of the CS field.
Agata Janina Faran, class of 2024, is double-majoring in Neuroscience and Studio Arts with a minor in Chemistry. She is fascinated by the mechanisms behind the functions of the human body, especially the brain. Her specific interests focus on the impacts of the environment on behaviour and brain structure. Agata is a student at the Experimental Analysis of Behaviour Lab led by Prof. Fox, with whom she is planning to conduct her Senior Year Experience project.
Agata is an international student at St. Lawrence University and a UWC Scholar.
As an undergraduate mathematics major, I’m passionate about creative problem-solving and devising applications to improve the modern world. Namely, I am interested in mathematical applications to the sciences, which motivated me to pursue a summer research experience in organic chemistry under the mentorship of Dr. Tartakoff. Using my skill set, I designed promising syntheses and ran appropriate analyses to draw valuable insights.
I am Al P. Logan, and I am a Liberian. I went to UWC East Africa, and those were some of the best years of my life. At SLU, I spend most of my time playing intramural soccer or volleyball and spending time with friends.

My name is Kanonkela and I am a junior from Chienge, Zambia majoring in Biomedical Sciences, and minoring in Chemistry and Public Health. I have always loved doing research and contributing to the science world, and this made me take up the opportunity when it presented itself. I have continued doing the research into this fall.
Megan Nolan '25 is majoring in Biomedical Science, minoring in Chemistry, and aspires to work in the dental field. She helped assist in procedures performed by a general dentist, a prosthodontist, and a periodontist. In a future internship, she will be working with an orthodontist. After graduation, she plans to apply to dental school and eventually specialize in prosthodontics.
Talya Scott, ’23, has a major in Neuroscience and minors in Public Health and Chemistry. Her time spent working in a nursing home and interest in medicine led her to pursue a research project testing a potential treatment for Parkinson’s Disease in a C. elegans model. After completing this summer research project, she plans to continue her research as an SYE to further expand her own and the scientific community’s understanding of this disease.
Zican Zhou 21' is a senior student with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry. She has been working in Dr. Schreiber's Lab since Fall 2019 as a research assistant, a summer fellowship student, and plans to expand this fellowship to her Senior Year Experience during 2020-2021, continuing to investigate the effects of thyroid hormone and cortisol on the amphibian immune system. After graduation from St. Lawrence University, Zican intends to obtain a master's degree in biology, and the skillsets she learned from this fellowship will be a great asset.
Aseman Bagheri Sheshdeh, class of 2022 majoring in neuroscience and mathematics with a minor in chemistry. Aseman is preparing for pursuit of a career in healthcare involving research. This research is a literature review of the COVID-19 virus with focus on its influence on public health. As such, the research has been of great value and resource which has been a guide for better performance in roles such as community assistant and SLU Emergency Medicine Services Staff.
