Undergraduate Summer Science Research Program
May - August, 2006

Undergraduate research initiatives are central to the College's approach to science education. All science majors are encouraged to conduct mentored research projects during the summer and/or academic year, and each year over 50% of all science majors do so. Students receive stipends for summer research and academic credit for research performed in the junior and senior years. Since 1989, each summer the College has provided 35+ students with ten-week research stipends to conduct independent research under the guidance of Bryn Mawr faculty members in the sciences and mathematics. The summer program is enriched by professional development workshops and a poster session at which students present their research to the college community.

Survival Skills and Ethics Workshop
by Karen Greif (July 11th, 2007 )

9:30-10:15 am	What do you need for success in science? We will discuss the skills (and some personal attributes) for success in science. It’is not enough to be a good researcher
10:15-11:00 am	The lab research experience: What are you learning? (Group discussion) This summer may be your first research experience. Everyone will have a chance to reflect on his/her own discoveries. What has surprised you and how does this change your perception of how science is done?
11:00-11:15 am	Break---Go check those experiments!
11:15-12:00 noon	Cat got your tongue? Learning to give oral presentations We will break into small groups for impromptu “speechifying”—the Toastmasters way! It’s fun—and good practice.
12:00-1:00 pm	Research ethics over lunch We will discuss a sample case involving research ethics. Each table will have a facilitator to help you explore a complex issue
