Current and former Ohio Northern University students, in collaboration with faculty mentors, have been involved in a high-impact learning experience that resulted in the publication of an article in a prestigious research journal.
The article, “A predator-based psychosocial stress animal model of PTSD in females: Influence of estrous phase and ovarian hormones,” was published in the September 2019 edition of Hormones and Behavior.
The project was supported by a $411,453 research grant from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute that was awarded to ONU Associate Professor of Psychology Phillip Zoladz, Ph.D., and former ONU pharmacy faculty member Boyd Rorabaugh.
The ONU Healthwise Mobile Clinic will be at the Ada Public Library from 1 to 3 p.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Services are offered at no cost to the patient and include immunizations, tobacco cessation, medication reconciliation, health education, and a variety of health screenings.
The ONU College of Pharmacy operates the clinic. Members of the organization visit Ada and most other communities in Hardin County several times a year, thanks to its partners, CVS and Mercy Health.
