- Each summer, Mote Marine Laboratory hosts a 10-week program
focused on providing research experiences in estuarine science to 8-10
advanced undergraduate students. Students are paired with Mote
scientists and develop and complete an independent research project
related to their mentors research interests. Students gain experience in
science communication by presenting the results of their independent
project in a manuscript-style research paper and orally at a
laboratory-wide research symposium. Students attend research seminars and
workshops on career skills in science, Students also have the
opportunity to present their research findings at professional
conferences.
The 2008 REU session will focus on major threats to estuaries such as
aquatic pollution, natural toxins, habitat alteration, and coral reef
decline. Information about mentors, research topics, dates, and
application procedures are posted on the REU web site
(www.mote.org/reu). Applications are due on February 15, 2008.
