What can research look like in Life Sciences? Whether you’re just beginning to explore what research means or you’re gearing up to write a senior Honors thesis, this event is for you.

Join us for a panel discussion and Q&A with faculty members and a current undergraduate researcher as they share about their scholarship and research experiences. Topics covered by the panelists may include how to ask a compelling research question, examples of real faculty research projects, and what doing undergraduate research or a thesis can actually look like.

Bring your curiosity, connect with faculty, and find out more about the real work of life sciences!
