For 10 weeks during the summer of 2013, six students participated in GLBRC's Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at UW-Madison. They came from as far away as Puerto Rico, and all were low income, minority, and/or first in their family to attend college.
Their order was a tall one. In this short period of time, each student worked with a mentor to come up with a project proposal, run a series of experiments, analyze their results, and present their work during a final research symposium. In addition, the students attended regular programming developed by the Integrated Biological Sciences - Summer Research Program (IBS-SRP), and weekly seminars on bioenergy.
