[Quist, Tanya M - (tquist)]

Are you interested in doing biologically-related research this summer? Apply to UBRP!
UA’s Undergraduate Biology Research Program (UBRP) provides opportunities for UA students to participate in a paid, mentored, summer research program involving inquiry, design, investigation, research, scholarship, discovery, and the presentation of experimental results.  UBRP students work full time (35 hours/week) for a minimum of 12 weeks during the summer, participate in professional development meetings on Wednesday afternoons, and can network with other UBRP students through educational and social field trips and activities. To learn more and to apply, please visit http://ubrp.arizona.edu<http://ubrp.arizona.edu/>. Applications are due on February 1, 2018 at 5:00pm.

&#8226             2:00 - 4:30pm: Student Poster Sessions. Is boldness in black widow spiders a heritable trait?  What does the literature tell us about factors to consider before getting a tattoo?
