Life Sciences Journal Club meeting

Life Science flyer
Coverdell Room 104

Students will discuss the basics on how to read and approach peer-reviewed scientific literature with the help of Dr. John Wares from the Genetics and Ecology Departments. This is a great way to become familiar with quality science papers and learn about the kinds of research being conducted at UGA, as well as to meet an experienced researcher. This is especially valuable for any student interested in doing research and/or going to graduate school.

Undergraduate Research in Biology

Undergraduates majoring in biology have the opportunity to enhance their learning through direct participation in research and scholarship. At UGA, these opportunities enable undergraduates to participate in ground-breaking research, often as part of a team of graduate students and faculty. In fact, many students can earn academic credit while working under an experienced faculty mentor by taking BIOL 4960R or working directly with the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO). The Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Fellowship (BSURF) has been established to support undergraduate research opportunities in the Division of Biological Sciences within the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. The Fellowship provides financial assistance to students who have not had an opportunity to participate in a mentored research experience (paid, volunteer, or for credit) since matriculating to the University of Georgia.
