At the beginning of the Summer, a group of faculty took on a larger group of students to mentor them in summer research projects funded by the LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation) arm of the National Science Foundation. Today those students (and others) presented their work in a morning poster session (that's just one of them pictured) after eight weeks of experimental design, trouble-shooting, data collection, and analysis. Congratulations to all of these students for their hard work. We hope that they will be inspired to continue researching during their undergraduate career and perhaps even pursue a career of research in the near future.
