REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Estuarine and Coastal Marine Systems

杜克大学将在北卡罗来纳州博福特的杜克海洋实验室举办本科生研究体验(REU)网站。该计划支持每年夏天为9名学生提供实习机会，这些学生在为期10周的研究项目中开展独立研究项目，其中包括海洋科学研讨会、实地考察和一系列研讨会。学生们将住在海洋实验室的宿舍，并在餐厅用餐。学生将在(1)感觉生理学、生态学和行为学，(2)分子生物学和遗传学，以及(3)海岸和河口物理过程的一般研究领域选择导师。在整个项目中，将有关于安全、科学伦理、科学写作、口头和海报演示、图形技能、研究生院和非学术科学职业的会议。最后一周将包括完成一份关于学生研究项目的科学手稿和一份期末口头报告。联合课程活动包括由海洋实验室赞助的研讨会项目，参加选定的实地考察。拟议的REU旨在培训学生提出科学研究问题，设计和开展实验室和实地工作以解决这些研究问题，并发展交流其研究结果的技能。

Duke University will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site located at the Duke Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, NC. The program supports internships for 9 students each summer who conduct independent research projects during a 10-week research program that includes seminars in marine sciences, field trips and a series of workshops. Students will live in Marine Laboratory dormitories and take their meals in the dining hall. Students will have a choice of advisors in the general research areas of (1) sensory physiology, ecology and behavior, (2) molecular biology and genetics, and (3) coastal and estuarine physical processes. Throughout the program there will be sessions on safety, scientific ethics, scientific writing, oral and poster presentations, and graphics skills, graduate school and non-academic science careers. The final week will involve completion of a scientific manuscript on the student's research project and a final oral presentation. Co-curricular activities include a Marine Laboratory-sponsored seminar program, participation in selected field trips. The proposed REU is organized to train students to frame scientific research questions, to design and undertake laboratory and field work to address these research questions, and to develop the skills to communicate the results of their research.
