Science in action! 🧫🔬

It was inspiring to see this summer's undergraduate researchers in biology & biotechnology present the results of their incredible work. After just five weeks of research and only three days to design their posters, students from Dr. Shelley Thai's Biology 298 (Undergraduate Research in Microbiology and Molecular Biology), Biology 49 (Biology Independent Study), and Biology 50 (Internship in Biological Sciences) courses filled the Student Center with innovative microbiology research and exciting discoveries.

A big congratulations to our student researchers for their hard work, curiosity, and dedication. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the next generation of scientists! 👏✨
