Believing that students learn science by doing science, Wittenberg biology professors collaborated with students on a number of research projects during the 2004-05 academic year, many of which led to invitations for the students to present their work at national, regional and statewide research conferences.
Thirty-two biology students presented the results of their research at the Ohio Academy of Sciences, while three presented at the Midwest Ecology and Evolution Conference in Carbondale, Ill. Four others presented at the Benthic Ecology Meeting in Williamsburg, Va., and seven were asked to present at the Butler Undergraduate Research Conference this spring.
In addition, four students, sponsored by three biology faculty members, Margaret Goodman, Tim Lewis and Cathy Pedersen, presented their research at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research in Lexington, Va. .
