This summer I conducted research on the role of the TRPS1 gene on mineralization of dental tissues. During the beginning of this study, I believed it would be a straight path: I would have one question with one previously selected type of data that would lead me to the answer. Namely, in this study, I would gather quantitative data on the mineral densities…

The Key of Accessibility
The world is filled with information waiting to be uncovered by the next researcher. Yet, once the demanding task of uncovering knowledge is complete, it is equally as important to communicate that knowledge effectively. This includes reaching people both in the field of study and outside. Restricting a general audience from understanding a research work causes the work to lose power. Potential applications of the…
Bridging Research
The Brackenridge community is a beautiful cohort of individuals who each bring their own, distinct perspectives. Through the wide range of interests and research topics presented within the Brackenridge community, I hope to grow my own knowledge base by learning about new topics that I have not yet explored. Reading through the Brackenridge blogposts, I recognized that, like myself, several people are also conducting basic natural science research, hoping to pursue knowledge with…
Priyanka Hoskere- Investigating the Role of TRPS1 in Mineralization
Hi everyone! My name is Priyanka, and I am a Biological Sciences major with a minor in Chemistry at Pitt. Two things I love are my home state of Delaware and singing as I am a part of an acapella team on campus. I aspire to become a dentist in the future and encourage people…
