Seminars
FEScUE is a NSF-funded program to support jointly mentored undergraduate research at the interface of the mathematical and biological sciences. We are seeking inquisitive minds for a new cluster modeling the human immune response to infection, to begin in Spring 2013 with the FEScUE seminar (see below).
The College of Natural Sciences Undergraduate Research Institute provides information for undergraduate research opportunities in departments throughout the college.
