In any given semester, a dozen or more students conduct original laboratory or field research under the guidance of faculty mentors. A student may use four credits of Research in Biology (Biol 451/452) to satisfy one of the upper-level course requirements in Biology. In addition, some faculty sponsor students for summer research, especially when grant funds are available to pay student stipends. Students have presented their work in a variety of venues, including the 国产精品午夜福利清纯露脸 Symposium and the 国产精品午夜福利清纯露脸 Journal of Biological Sciences on campus, the Tennessee Academy of Sciences regional meeting, the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, and a number of field-specific professional meetings and journals. 国产精品午夜福利清纯露脸 Biology students routinely win awards for their presentations.
