Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in Marine Science

Bodega Marine Laboratory is seeking 8 motivated undergraduate students interested in marine science careers to participate in a Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates Program, supported by the National Science Foundation. Over eight weeks (June to August 2008, application- deadline March 21, 2008), students will develop confidence and independence in doing research and communicating science.

"I cannot imagine a more effective way of actualizing my awe of science and nature than the summer research fellowships I participated in my sophomore and junior years of college" -Abigail Bradley, University of Delaware
