Official campus news has caught up with fall 2022 LSAMP conference in an end-of-February post at www.iusb.edu/news. We had already posted the student participants and their research titles last fall on our site here, but we won't refuse another chance to boast about our students! The picture above, taken by Wendi Chitwood of Indiana University at the conference, shows, from left to right, students Precious-Gold Akpadija (BA chemistry major), Emily Barrera (BS biochemistry major), Hiba Majeed (BS Biological Sciences major), and Marcus Bailey (BS Biological Sciences major). Precious-Gold Akpadija and Hiba Majeed tied for second place, and the honorable mentions went to Emily Barrera and Marcus Bailey.
Vice Chancellor McMillen (formerly our department's organic chemist), who attended the conference with the students remarked that the posters were of high quality and said further that “It’s nice that each student can get plenty of individualized attention from faculty members (at IUSB), but one challenge that smaller, regional universities face is that they’re typically working in small research groups."
