For the second time at the International Union of Physiological Sciences/Experimental Biology meeting and as a result of the establishment of the David S. Bruce Awards for
Excellence in Undergraduate Research, APS was pleased to host a special APS Undergraduate Poster Session to highlight the contributions of undergraduate researchers to physiology. This special session was held in addition to the regularly scheduled poster session that the students were programmed into as part of the EB scientific program. It was held Saturday afternoon of the IUPS/EB meeting and culminated in the presentation of the David Bruce Awards. Of the 123 undergraduate first authors invited to present at the APS Undergraduate Poster Session, 97 came to the session and had the opportunity to put up their poster and present it to interested scientists and guests. The session not only provided the undergraduate students with an opportunity to highlight their research but also to meet faculty from many graduate schools and medical schools to discuss their future plans. Approximately 200 APS members and guests were in attendance at the session, with many comments heard as to the high quality of research being presented by the students. This year, for the first time, the students and their research were highlighted in a special program given out for the session. APS looks forward to hosting APS Undergraduate Poster Sessions at future Experimental Biology meetings and encourages APS members to have their undergraduate students to submit abstracts for EB, apply for the David Bruce award, and attend the poster session in 2006. |
