Colleges in the Community Day
Sunday, February 28, 2016 11:30 am–5:00 pm
Los Angeles Convention Center
This full day of activities for local college students and their instructors kicks off with an Undergraduate Student Pizza “Breakfast” where participants will have an opportunity to socialize and network with their peers and members of the Biophysical Society’s Education Committee in a fun and relaxed environment. Next, students will have a chance to win prizes during a scavenger hunt designed to promote learning and interaction with researchers. Undergraduates will also have a unique opportunity to ask graduate students, post-docs, and leading biophysicists about training and career opportunities in biophysics and related fields during this interactive Q & A session – come prepared to find out about the course of study that biophysicists undertake, what it means to be a biophysicist, and how biophysicists make important discoveries. Finally, students will have access to an exclusive tour of the exhibit hall where they will view special demonstrations featuring cutting edge instrumentation producing breakthroughs in structural biology and other areas.
Local undergraduate students within a 50-mile radius of the Los Angeles Convention Center who are not presenting an abstract or listed on an abstract being presented at this meeting may register for this event and gain FREE access to all Annual Meeting sessions on Sunday, February 28, 2016.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: February 5, 2016 Space is limited, pre-registration is required.

| KBS Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) |  |
 |
 |
 Applications are now open, see below for 2016 project descriptions! KBS faculty, post-docs, and graduate students are passionate about involving undergraduates in their research. REU positions give students an opportunity to conduct full-time research under the guidance of an experienced mentor. This program is 11 weeks long and will run from May 23-August 5, 2016 (students are expected to arrive on-site by 5 p.m. Sunday, May 22nd and depart Saturday, August 6th). REUs will work with their mentor to create and maintain a fully annoted dataset, collaborate to write a research proposal, present a professional research poster at the KBS Summer Undergraduate Symposium, and write a blog post about their research experience. Check out our Summer 2015 Undergraduate Symposium Program to see the projects students presented on last summer! Compensation:
What are the benefits of an REU at KBS?
Summer 2016 Project Descriptions A muddy matter: Nutrient and carbon cycling in mucky sediments in wetlands and other shallow freshwater ecosystems Detecting the spatial variation of soil nitrification and denitrification: a multi-scale approach From molecules to climate change: Nitrogen and carbon cycling at the ecosystem scale Are Michigan soils protecting waterways from phosphorus pollution? Eco-evolutionary responses of phytoplankton to global change The role of agricultural advisors in farm nitrogen decisions Pulling food out of thin air: The importance of nitrogen fixation in prairie grasses Building a better monoculture – how does diversity within species affect yield and ecosystem services? The role of soil microbes in restoration of diverse prairies The ecological and eco-evolutionary dynamics of aquatic metacommunities
***For Summer 2016 KBS is excited to partner with the Ecological Society of America (ESA) SEEDS program to offer two KBS REU positions through the ESA SEEDS SPUR Fellowship Program. The following two (2) positions must be applied for directly through ESA SEEDS by using the link in the logo below. 
Nitrogen in the environment and critical climate change impact Will work for fertilizer: Plant roots trade food to soil bacteria for fertilizer
How do you apply? Applications for 2016 REU positions will be open December 15th – February 15th! What will you need?
We encourage applications from from underrepresented groups in the sciences. You must be a U.S. citizen with undergraduate status to participate in the KBS REU Program. If you have questions about the program or application process, please email [email protected].
