The 2024 Coastal Summer Semester program ended on Friday, June 28 with our thirteen students presenting their final research projects, which ran the gamut from plant physiology to community ecology to animal behavior. Dr. Tom Hancock, who co-led the course, said “To go from research proposal to finished product in less than two weeks is remarkable. Watching their final research presentations gave me a glimpse into what the next generation of scientists will be able to achieve.”  We wish them all the best of luck!
