Kelsey Nocilla, a biology major at the University of Georgia, joins other students in Genetics, Philosophy, English, and History in having their work published in Mutation & Mayhem, Volume 4, Issue 2 of The Classic

The undergraduate writers published in this issue have worked with a team of dedicated graduate student editors to revise their manuscripts and prepare them for publication over the past three months. We hope you'll take the time to read the issue and join us in celebrating Kelsey and her fellow students and support the writing students are doing beyond the classroom. 



You can read Kelsey's article, "The Effect of Acidic pH on Water Transport in Plectranthus scutellarioides" in which she explores the effect of acid rain on plants' water transport systems, and the full issue of Mutation & Mayhem at The Classic Journal.

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 a student who has not had an opportunity to participate in a mentored research experience (paid, volunteer, or for credit) since matriculating to The University of Georgia.
