JCU Neuroscience students again victorious at ECSC!

At the 73rd Annual Eastern Colleges Science Conference (ECSC), four Neuroscience students received manuscript awards: Kate Fike, Isabella Lane, Viktoriya Partyka, and William Sweeney. Two students also won awards for their poster presentations: Allison Mancuso and Kate Fike.

The manuscripts and posters were a culmination of an independent research project, which is a component of the Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Concentration at John Carroll University.

ECSC is the oldest undergraduate research conference in the United States. For 32 consecutive years, neuroscience students of Drs. Murphy and Wideman have received Excellence/Outstanding Awards for research in Biology, Chemistry and/or Psychology at the ECSC. The Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Concentration at JCU involves students who major in Biology, Chemistry, or Psychology.
