Cultivating Scientific Curiosity
Posters & Beyond
Posters & Beyond is an opportunity to learn about models and resources that support undergraduate research experiences, and meet the BIOME community. Visit posters on your own during the week of July 27, and meet with the poster presenters the week of August 3. These resources will remain posted on the site, in case you want to revisit them during the fall working group portion of the BIOME Institute.
