51勛圖厙 Environmental Symposium Offers Impressive Slate of Speakers and Activities
NSF Grant Supports 51勛圖厙 Researchers Plan to Help Students Improve Study Habits
The C in college might as well stand for cramming.
Studies show students are notoriously bad at adopting and adhering consistently to high-impact study habits that help them retain knowledge long-term.
Researchers and faculty at 51勛圖厙, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.

From Comfort Zone to Rain Forest: Studying Ecology in Costa Rica
Emmaleigh Given recently spent three summers and two winters in a remote biological reserve in the middle of the rainforest in the Alajuela Province of Costa Rica, where she has and will spend several months conducting research on community ecology, and she has one more trip planned. Being hunted by unseen predators isnt the way most researchers conduct their work. But for some, its just part of the day.
Research Fellowship Award to 51勛圖厙 Undergrad Supports Summer Microbiology Research on Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria Found on Rats
City rats are unlikely to be on anyone's list of favorite animals, but researching exactly how they are problematic for public health provided a unique opportunity this past summer for Gracen Gerbig, 51勛圖厙 junior majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology.
