It is a priority for the college’s STEM disciplines, but research options are also available in humanities, psychology and criminal justice, including on-campus positions, paid summer fellowships and internships with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) or local businesses. In December, 2022, Dr. Rhiannon West, Associate Professor/Biology at NNMC, took two students, Jazmyn Gutierrez and Vincent Benavidez, to the University of the Bahamas Gerace Research Centre for 28 days to conduct research on indigenous species of pupfish in the interior of San Salvador Island. </description><image><img src="/_resources/_nnmc_images/_news-images/Bahamas_20221214_100819.jpg" alt="Jazmyn Gutierrez netting fish"/></image><author>Arin McKenna</author><media_c>Dr. Rhiannon West</media_c><media_e>rhiannon.west@nnmc.edu</media_e><tags><tag>Biology Chemistry and Environmental Science</tag><tag>Student Research</tag></tags><cat>Press Releases</cat></item>
