Many of our undergraduate students, from 60-70% of our majors, perform significant research in the various laboratories within the Biological Sciences Department. A number of these have made contributions significant enough for them to serve as co-authors on publications in scientific journals. Several of these students are co-authors on more than one paper. Many undergraduates also have served as co-authors on posters presented at national and international meetings. Some examples of the publications of which our undergraduates are co-authors and contributors to are given below, with the undergraduate students' names highlighted.
