The negatively biased information from news leads to a negative mood in people such as anxiety and depression, creating even biased perspectives. To alleviate the negative mood and improve the positive psychological health, we decided to create a website that brings positive information to our website users, providing positive information that relieves their negative bias.
Our idea is to use our $1.4 billion budget to create low income, transitional housing communities which would act as a bridge between homelessness and independence by providing homeless people with access to shelter, as well as mental health facilities and therapy offices. We would also like to implement resources like job fairs, financial advising,
First and second-year students in the Grand Challenges Initiatives are pushed to develop research-based solutions for real-world problems. The ongoing opioid crisis is a major challenge for medical workers, pharmaceutical companies, and policymakers alike. One GCI team is bringing their diverse experiences together to contribute to solutions for this issue. Angelina Sorensen (Biochemistry and Molecular
In the neonatal period of life, it is very important that the measured weight of the newborn is as accurate as possible. An inaccurate weight prevents healthcare professionals from being able to assess and gain accurate information regarding the newborn’s health. Our solution to this, is to use hydrostatic weighing. The hydrostatic weighing method is
The grand challenge our team recognized was that maintaining good overall health on college campuses is very difficult. Our team’s solution was to make nutritious eating and exercising convenient and easy to for Chapman students via our menu and fitness plan. The menus and fitness plan contributes to society at large because our scientific-based menus
On February 11th, 2017, a 44-year-old woman was rushed to the emergency room, experiencing an attack of primarily left-sided paralysis and an inability to speak.

Our project follows the path of this individual’s differential diagnoses, leading to the final diagnosis
With technology advancing at an exponential rate, it is likely that virtual reality will soon become a integral part of life simply due to the fact it is applicable in so many areas.

Lurking deep on the seafloor lies a rather alien-looking creature: the hagfish. Although the hagfish is indeed a fish, it takes the common long and thin shape one would affiliate with an eel. In fact, the hagfish has a common nickname of the “slime eel” for good reason. When the hagfish is under attack, it
To this day, there is no opioid that binds selectively in peripheral tissue. The binding of opioids in central and peripheral tissues is what results in long term addiction. Opioids, such as morphine, bind at physiological and injured pH. Decreasing the pKa of the morphine molecule leads to selective binding in injured tissues only. The
Undergraduates on college campuses often experience new or increasing sexual experiences which can increase the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Students experiencing sexual health problems are often faced with multiple concerns regarding obtaining knowledge regarding STDs as well as treatment options. This project aims to easily connect Chapman University students to information concerning sexual
