Hi all,<\/p>\n
We hope that this note finds you well!<\/p>\n
We (Nina von Keyserlingk, and\u202fLexis Ly) are teaching a course this fall (APBI 398) that aims to give 3rd year undergraduate students some exposure to research methods in aspects of applied biology, with the hope of preparing them for a more intensive research experience in their 4th year.<\/p>\n
A requirement for the course is that students volunteer on a research project for a minimum of 20 hour<\/strong>s (the specifics can be decided depending upon the needs of the mentor and mentee).\u00a0This is a great opportunity to have a student assist you with an aspect of your project – it does not necessarily mean they need to have their own experiment.<\/p>\n We’d be very grateful if you’d be willing to\u202fhelp\u202fmentor one or more students.<\/strong> Students who take the course really enjoy it, and develop skills and interests that prepare for theses and directed studies the following year!<\/p>\n Over the next few weeks students might be contacting you about opportunities – we do hope you will be willing to speak with students from this course that contact you. We would be grateful if you could send us a short summary of your projects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
