|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Kasey Jobe, a student at Stephen F. Austin State | ||
| University, was selected to present his research at the 2021 Texas | ||
| Undergraduate Research Day on February 23 and 24; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Each biennium, outstanding students from colleges | ||
| and universities throughout the state showcase their research for | ||
| legislators and the public on Texas Undergraduate Research Day; | ||
| coordinated by the Council of Public University Presidents and | ||
| Chancellors and the Independent Colleges and Universities of Texas, | ||
| Inc., this year's event was held virtually; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A student of biology and forestry at SFA, Mr. Jobe | ||
| studies the ways in which erosion control blankets used at | ||
| construction sites affect snake species; he has found that some | ||
| types of erosion control blankets are more hazardous to snakes and | ||
| that burying the edges of the blankets significantly reduces the | ||
| instances of snake entanglement and mortality; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Jobe has coauthored three peer-reviewed | ||
| scientific papers on snake entanglement research conducted at SFA, | ||
| and the findings were presented to the Texas Department of | ||
| Transportation, which provided funding for the project; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Kasey Jobe has distinguished himself as a dynamic | ||
| young leader in an important field of study, and his | ||
| accomplishments are a source of great pride to Stephen F. Austin | ||
| State University; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Kasey Jobe on his selection to | ||
| participate in the 2021 Texas Undergraduate Research Day and extend | ||
| to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Jobe as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
