A day in the life




REU participants waste no time getting started. Immediately following training week, students disperse across campus and being working on their project. After visiting students in the lab, it is clear that each project is different. One student is testing metals used to make airplanes, while another student is studying invasive crab along the Oregon and California coasts. Though each project is different, all are united under the theme of microscopy and microanalysis techniques. Over the last five weeks, participants have learned how to use high-tech electron microscopy equipment and applied that knowledge to their projects. Enjoy the pictures of students hard at work!
