REU and URE participants

REU + URE in-person week, 2021

After working and studying remotely all summer, the 2021 cohort of Microbial Friends & Foes REU students, and CIHMID’s Undergraduate Research Experience students were on campus for the final week of the program. They traveled to Cornell’s beautiful (if hilly!) campus to spend a week bonding with their labs, and presenting scientific posters of the research conducted this summer. It was a great opportunity for these students to get a taste of the hands-on lab experience this program proudly provides in otherwise ‘normal’ years. Congrats to the 2021 cohort for being such great scientists, and such good sports.

Waiting [patiently] for the research symposium to begin.

A great presentation from URE student Destiny Okoro.

 

The presentations were well-researched, and timely.
