Sara kicked off the National Academies' Special Topics Summer Institute focused on course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) with a talk entitled "Course-based undergraduate research experiences: What, why, and how?". She is also a facilitator for the week-long institute in Austin, Texas. Teams are here from around the country - all working hard at turning research projects into undergraduate lab courses.
Arizona State is represented at the CURE SI! Erin Shortlidge, Christian Wright, and Sarah Dalrymple are working on creating a CURE focused on tiger beetles! Stay tuned for more information!
