Here are some more photos

Did you miss out on our summer showcase of student research? 🤔

No worries, here is a recap of some photos taken at both the industry panel and the poster session at Wells Library.

Each summer, IUUR and the Office of Engaged Learning host a research poster event to showcase student work.

For the second summer, Dexter Wu-Corts is conducting a summer research project with Project STEM.

Project STEM is a summer internship program that invites high school students interested in science and engineering to be involved with research at a college level. The program is another one of the various summer research programs students can participate in.

Wu-Corts spent this summer working on two different projects with the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences Assistant Professor, Ehren Newman.

One project focuses on understanding the relationship between the hippocampus and the creation of memories by causing the hippocampus to express new genes that allow brain activity to be controlled with light. The light is used in the research to identify when the hippocampus is needed to complete a task.

The second project focuses on the relationship between brain activation dynamics and behavior.

Just like Wu-Corts, students can learn more about how to get involved and learn more about Project STEM.
Check out the story to hear more about Wu-Corts experience and how you can get involved too.
