Bio summary
The involvement of undergraduates in forefront research at their home institutions is considered a crucial part of student education particularly in the sciences. Students can gain important insights if they have access to faculty doing forefront research. They can get valuable training on a particular technique or problem, they can learn to work in research groups involving graduate students and senior scientists, and they can get an early read of whether to proceed further study in the sciences.
