Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates at Bodega Marine Laboratory
Bodega Marine Laboratory is seeking 10 motivated undergraduate students interested in marine science careers to participate in a Summer Research-Experience-for-Undergraduate Program, supported by the National Science Foundation. Over eight weeks (6/25-8/19/06), students will develop confidence and independence in doing research and communicating science. Faculty and other mentors will provide one-on-one research training, from choosing a topic to writing a paper, in a friendly supportive environment. Students will learn how to communicate their research results in an effective way in special modules during the program. Students will also develop essential career survival skills, including the code of scientific ethics. Participants will receive a stipend ($3500) plus all laboratory housing, meals and travel costs. Applications are due March 1, 2006.
