Images of Research Competition
Editor's Notes
Images of Research (IOR) is an opportunity for current Murray State students from all disciplines to capture, share, and present the essence of their research in images. IOR showcases and preserves students' research in digital form and fosters engagement and creative endeavors. The jurors extend their thanks to the students who entered work for this year's competition. The entries came from a wide range of disciplines including Agricultural Education, Agronomy, Biology, Design Engineering Technology, Fisheries/Aquatic Biology, Occupational Safety and Health, and Wildlife Conservation Biology. The jurors' decision-making process was challenging as the submitted work was engaging, visually stimulating, and excellent representations of Murray State student research.

Abstract
Description: My research project is a study on the effectiveness of apple cider vinegar against drought stress at different stages in soybean development. This photo was taken the first day of dry down and application of the apple cider vinegar on the first treatment group. The droplets seen are the apple cider vinegar settling on the leaves after I sprayed it on each replication. The title "Drops of Wonder" refers to the extremely complex and not entirely understood nature of drought and the effects that different compounds have on drought recovery. Scientific investigation begins with a simple "I wonder what this will do?" and can sometimes lead to groundbreaking discoveries that change the world.
