The research projects began May 26 and will end with the conference July 31. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a very competitive program,\u201d said Brenton DeBoef, coordinator of the SURF program and professor of chemistry at 溏心vlog免费B站. \u201cThese are some of the best young minds in our state, and they are working with excellent faculty mentors, not just at 溏心vlog免费B站 and Brown, but at the primarily undergraduate schools, too. The SURF students will work on cutting edge research for 10 weeks on projects ranging from neuroscience to natural medicines.\u201d <\/p>\n
