Undergraduate summer researchers from SPUR eight-week programs presented their posters at the August 17, 2017 event in the Young Hall Student Collaboratory.
The visiting students were from various SPUR programs including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Scholars; CARE Science, Engineering and Mathematics (CARE SEM SPUR) Scholars; Santa Monica College (SMC) Summer Research Scholars; Translational Applications of Nanoscale Multiferroic Systems (TANMS) Scholars; and (UC LEADS) Scholars.
Visiting students participating in SPUR ten week programs will continue to conduct research in chemistry and biochemistry labs for the next two weeks. They will present their research at a poster session on Wednesday, August 30, 2017, in the Young Hall Student Collaboratory (Room 4222) from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. These students are from the following SPUR programs: Amgen Scholars; CARE Science, Engineering and Math (SEM) Summer Research Scholars; and Cross-disciplinary Scholars in Science and Technology (CSST).
