It's time once again for UMR undergraduate researchers to show their stuff in our annual Undergraduate Research Conference. Students have until March 16 to register. The top researchers can win cash prizes.

Last year's winners (PDF) included students researching medical biosensors, quantum dots, robotic swarms, elephant migration patterns, IEDs, editorial cartoons and more. It's all part of UMR's effort to give undergraduates "experiential learning opportunities" -- i.e., hands-on research.
