Skylar Ruffner participated in the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program where she focused on teaching math vocabulary in the context of a shared reading routing to preschool children at risk for language delays under Taryn Wade. She presented her project, The Effects of Shared Reading on the Geometry Vocabulary Knowledge of Preschool Children At Risk for Language Delays, at the 22nd Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. Skylar is also a 2024-2025 UROP Leader.
Ruffner’s immersion in research, particularly within the Hammock Lab, has yielded significant contributions to the field of neuroscience. Her work focuses on oxytocin’s role in postnatal brain development.
Additionally, she has made substantial community contributions through her role as a volunteer diving coach and her involvement in the pre-medical chapter of Phi Delta Epsilon, FL Zeta, where she serves as historian.
Through her multifaceted endeavors, Ruffner exemplifies a commitment to excellence, service and scholarly inquiry that enriches both the FSU community and the broader Tallahassee area.
