LINC STEM scholars’ participation in research internships culminated in a written Abstract of their work. They were required to submit their Abstracts to a variety of competitive regional and national presentation venues. You can see many of them here. Many scholars succeeded in earning a slot where either an oral or poster presentation was given before a panel of judges.
Research presentation venues include the Joint Annual Meeting of Beta Kappa Chi Scientific Honor Society and The National Institute of Science, Oklahoma – Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (OK-LSAMP) Research Symposium, Emerging Researchers National Conference (ERN), Kansas-Idea Network Biomedical Research Excellence, Oklahoma Research Day, and LU Research Day. Many won awards for their presentations. Some of those results are shown here.
