The Life Sciences Department is requiring an independent research project as a component of its curriculum for majors. This Senior-year project is involving students in research with a particular focus upon Molecular Biology. Powerful motivators, the projects provide students an environment for developing modern laboratory skills and techniques while pursuing a currently important biological question. As a result, these undergraduates better comprehend the essence of science while at the same time they gain better preparation for entering careers based on scientific processes. Participants are being encouraged to communicate the results of their research to their peers and to other scientists through publication and/or oral presentation of their work. The new equipment provided through this grant is being used for basic work in Molecular Biology, including the purification and experimental manipulation of nucleic acids. The simplicity of many of the techniques employed in Molecular Biology makes it feasible for undergraduates to accomplish significant work if properly motivated and supervised.

生命科学部需要一项独立的研究 项目作为其专业课程的组成部分。 这一年， 项目是让学生参与研究，特别关注 分子生物学 强有力的激励因素，这些项目为学生提供了 培养现代实验室技能和技术的环境 同时研究一个当前重要的生物学问题。 因此，在本发明中， 这些本科生更好地理解科学的本质，而在 与此同时，他们获得更好的准备进入职业生涯的基础上， 科学过程。 鼓励参与者交流 将他们的研究成果告诉他们的同行和其他科学家 通过出版和/或口头介绍其工作。 通过这笔赠款提供的新设备正在用于基本的 分子生物学工作，包括纯化和实验 操纵核酸。 许多技术的简单性 在分子生物学中就业使本科生能够 在适当的激励和监督下完成重要的工作。
