Are you interested in getting involved in research in the biological sciences? There will be an organizational meeting for the NSF/Biology/Capstone Program on Friday, October 31 in the Quiet Study Room (BH 121). Introductions will start at 3:45 and presentations will start at 4pm. The meeting will include more details about the program and a dozen faculty members from the department will be present to briefly describe their research programs and interests. The presentations are expected to last a total of approximately 2 hours.
This program offers a two-and-a-half-year participation in biology research on campus and provides one way that Honors College students can fulfill their Capstone requirements. Students participating in the NSF/Biology/Capstone Program are associated with a research group in the Department of Biological Sciences and conduct experiments in ongoing research projects sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
