ED14B:
Undergraduate Research in Marine and Aquatic Sciences Posters
Session ID#: 11207
Session Description:
The Student Poster Session Session is designed for under-graduate and beginning graduate student who will be participating in their first scientific society meeting and choose not to present in one of the regular topical sessions.
Research opportunities are increasingly offered to undergraduate students in an effort to help them understand marine and aquatic sciences and to offer them an opportunity to consider this field as a career. Undergraduates and beginning graduate students who have conducted research are invited to present their results in this general session that will highlight the wide variety of student research and provide an opportunity for interested faculty to discuss your project with you. The Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) program brings large numbers of undergraduate students to marine institutions for summer research programs, and students who have participated in REU programs are particularly invited to submit to this session. Students are not limited to this session, and we encourage any undergraduate student who wishes to submit an abstract to a specialized science session in the subject of her/his research to consider that option as well.
