Two LSAMP scholars attended the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) hosted this year by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire from April 13 to 15. Biochemistry major Emily Barrera (on the right) presented her work Electroanalytical Performance of Antimony Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode in Detecting Lead and Cadmium under the supervision of Professor Grace Muna while chemistry major Precious-Gold Akpadija (on the left) showcased her work on the Effect of Guanidinium Content on the Anion Binding Capacity of Polyallyamine-Based Polymer Networks in the lab of Professor Kasey Clear. Both undergraduates presented their work last fall at a state-wide conference so they were well prepared for this national conference last week. The skills that our students develop, and the experience they gain, from their research experience and subsequent presentations (and sometimes publications) will serve them well after graduation, whether that entails further education or employment. Great job!
