REU Site: Research Experiences in Marine Molecular Physiology

位于Mount Desert Island生物实验室（Salisbury Cove, Maine）的美国国家科学基金会本科生研究经验项目为主修生物学或其相关研究领域的本科生提供10个为期8周的奖学金。学生从30位资深科学家的名单中优先选择三位导师/项目，探索涉及海洋分子生理学和功能基因组学的及时问题。利用鲨鱼、冰鞋、比目鱼、鱼和其他海洋动物，包括无脊椎动物，学生们在实验室工作台上探索有关繁殖、渗透调节、酸碱平衡、离子运输和环境毒理学的分子水平问题。学生们接受了共聚焦显微镜和基因表达等先进技术的培训。为了补充实验工作，本科生每周参加三次与海洋分子生理学相关的实验室范围的科学研讨会（周一上午的膜运输研讨会，周三晚上的研讨会和周五的“Brown Bag”简短讲座研讨会），并参加由导师讲授的道德课程“实验室研究中的负责任行为”。学生被邀请参加各种MDIBL科学会议，在会议上国际知名的研究人员展示他们的工作。入选的本科生在季末活动“未来科学家之夜”上展示他们的研究成果，该活动由MDIBL和杰克逊实验室赞助。最后，学生要写一篇研究论文，可能会发表在The Bulletin of The Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory （http://www.mdibl.org/parent-frames/publications/）上。MDIBL的REU奖学金是全包的。提供食宿、用品、旅行和津贴。本科生住在校园里的两个宿舍之一，毗邻实验室排球场。MDIBL CO CO提供一日三餐。周末，本科生自己做饭，食堂提供“原材料”。实验室之外的活动包括在附近的阿卡迪亚国家公园和沙漠山岛上的小镇进行无限制的娱乐活动。宿舍、社区食堂、敬业的导师、精力充沛的学生、实验室的自然环境和氛围融合成一个真正独特而富有成效的科学社区。学生招聘联系人：Michael McKernan（教育主任），电话：207 288-3605，mmckernan@mdibl.org。有关网站和应用程序信息，请参阅http://www.mdibl.org网页

The National Science Foundation's Research Experience for Undergraduates site at the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (Salisbury Cove, Maine) provides ten eight-week fellowships for undergraduate students majoring in biology or its allied fields of study. Students prioritize three mentors/projects from a list of 30 senior scientists exploring timely questions involving marine molecular physiology and functional genomics. Using sharks, skates, flounder, sculpin and other sea fauna including invertebrates, students work at the laboratory bench to explore questions at the molecular level concerning reproduction, osmoregulation, acid base balance, ion transport and environmental toxicology. Students are trained in advanced techniques such as confocal microscopy and gene expression. To supplement bench work, undergraduates attend three weekly laboratory-wide science seminars on topics related to marine molecular physiology (Monday Morning Membrane Transport Seminar, Wednesday Evening Seminar, and Friday 'Brown Bag' Short Lecture Seminar) and participate in an ethics course, 'Responsible Conduct in Laboratory Research' taught by their mentors. Students are invited to attend a variety of MDIBL scientific conferences in which internationally renown researchers present their work. Selected undergraduates present their research at an end-of-the-season event, 'Future Scientists Night' sponsored by MDIBL and the Jackson Laboratory. Finally, students write a research paper for possible publication in The Bulletin of the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (http://www.mdibl.org/parent-frames/publications/). MDIBL's REU Fellowships are all-inclusive. Room, board, supplies, travel and a stipend are provided. Undergraduates are housed on campus in one of two residence halls adjacent to the Laboratory volleyball court. Three meals a day are provided in the MDIBL CO OP. On weekends, undergraduates cook their own meals, with 'raw materials' provided in the dining hall. Activities outside the Laboratory include unlimited recreation in nearby Acadia National Park and small towns on Mount Desert Island. The dormitories, the community dining hall, dedicated mentors, energetic students, the Laboratory's natural setting and ambiance coalesce to a truly unique and productive scientific community.
