It\u2019s graduation season and for those folks who think grad school isn\u2019t for them, take a look at this week\u2019s guest who is one of the first to participate in the 4+1 Bioresource Research<\/a> program in the College of Agricultural Sciences<\/a> allowing students to complete their undergraduate and graduate degrees in 5 years! Taylor Hughes is an Oregonian native who grew up testing the river through his backyard for organic pollutants that would eventually lead him to Oregon State University scholarship. Like most recent graduates, high school and college alike, he didn\u2019t know exactly which career path to take. He was looking towards environmental sciences after a pivotal class in high school that forced him identify an ecological system and develop a method to test a hypothesis; essentially he was a scientist in the making!<\/p>\n

\"Chasing<\/a>

Fast-forward through the pre-requisite classes, and four years at OSU, and Taylor is now a recent graduate of the Bioresource Research degree focusing on toxicology<\/a>. The degree requires some research hours where he worked on a senior thesis focusing on how naturally produced bodily chemicals were influencing our bodies\u2019 endocannabinoid receptors system<\/a> that work to keep our internal functions stable. This was Taylor\u2019s first exposure to the \u201c-omics\u201d branch of science, some common examples include genomics and metabolomics.<\/p>\n

This research focuses on biomolecules of specific functions or from specific species, however the vast number of molecules produced by our biology leads to massive datasets that tend to be hypothesis generating<\/em> research rather than hypothesis driven research<\/em><\/a>. What does this mean for the rest of us? It leads to unintended discoveries, answers to questions we didn\u2019t know we had. Now that Taylor has returned to OSU and focusing on lipidomics<\/a>, he has found as a potentially new detoxification pathway that has previously been unknown!<\/p>\n

Tune in on tonight, June 5th<\/sup> at 7PM on 88.7FM or online<\/a> to listen to us talk to the Roseburg-native Taylor Hughes about new understandings in how our bodies can remove toxic by-products.<\/p>\n
