The Current is RI NSF EPSCoR’s bi-annual magazine, highlighting the scientific and engineering research of faculty and students at institutions across Rhode Island. This edition details the student research experience our annual Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF).
Continue reading "Winter edition of The Current is here!"By: Rebecca Helm, Brown University EPSCoR Graduate Student in Casey Dunn’s lab (Follow Helm on her blog and at Deep Sea News to read about all things jelly and the great ocean beyond) Every year New England beaches are invaded with sticky, stringy jellies, drifting leisurely through summer weekends, leaving painful reminders in their wake. But why is it […]
