REU-Site in Biology, Biological Chemistry and Psychobiology

女子本科学院韦尔斯利学院生物科学系将提供三个夏季的本科生研究机会。 参与者将从生物学，生物化学或心理生物学专业中选出，他们对独立工作有认真的目的和明确的兴趣，有充分的课程准备，并表现出独立思考和独立思考的能力。 参与者将由项目主任和教师委员会在评估旨在招募最合格的学生的申请表后选出。 学生将参与调查的各个方面，从文献综述到进行实验程序和观察，继续分析数据和确定结论。 学生将正式和非正式地讨论她的导师的工作，也将准备与所有参与者，学生和教师，每周小组研讨会的讨论。 这将鼓励口头报告的经验和接触其他研究人员的建议和批评。 海报会议将结束夏季的工作。 在整个夏季，研究生院和从事研究工作的女科学家将举办研讨会和讲习班;将对生物技术和化学公司进行实地考察。 将与来自波士顿大学的REU学生分享道德内容，并计划与该区域机构和马萨诸塞州大学波士顿校区联合举办研讨会和实地考察。

Summer undergraduate research opportunities in the Department of Biological Sciences at Wellesley College, an undergraduate college for women, will be offered for three summers. Participants will be selected from Biology, Biological Chemistry or Psychobiology majors who have serious purpose and definite interest in independent work, have sufficient course preparation and have shown ability to think imaginatively and independently. Participants will be selected by the project director and faculty committee after evaluation of application forms designed to recruit the most qualified student. The student will participate in all aspects of the investigation, from pursuing a literature review to carrying out experimental procedures and observations, continuing to analysis of data and determination of conclusions. The student will formally and informally discuss the work with her advisor, and also will prepare discussions with all participants, both student and faculty, for weekly group seminars. This will encourage both experience with oral presentations and exposure to suggestions and criticism of other researchers. A poster session will end the summer's work. Throughout the summer, seminars and workshops will be presented by women scientists in graduate school and in research careers; field trips to biotechnology and chemical companies will be taken. An ethics component will be shared with REU students from Boston University, and joint seminars and field trips have been planned with this regional institution and with the University of Massachusetts Boston campus.
