如何参与:

You will be exposed to smaller research projects in most of your Biology courses at 可靠的网赌平台, 但强化的最好方法是, mentored research experience is either by enrolling in 杂志3990年 or by taking the Junior Seminar/Senior Project course sequence.  在所有这些课程中，你将与一位教师导师配对, 制定研究计划, and then conduct your research while being guided and encouraged by a faculty member of your choice. 

如果我的研究要花钱怎么办?

这不是问题!  该系有专门拨出的资金来支持学生研究人员.  获得研究经费, you will give a very short presentation of your research proposal and a committee will disperse the funds on a case-by-case basis.  If this sounds scary, just remember that your mentor will be with you every step of the way!  你也可以申请资金来支付参加会议的旅费!
