Juita Martinez from the College of Charleston talks about her research on the effects of antimicrobial pollutants on shrimp to a group at the 2014 NIMBioS Undergraduate Research Conference<\/p><\/div>\n

More than 100 undergraduates and faculty in math, biology and related fields convened in Knoxville at the weekend to share research and network at the 6th\u00a0Annual NIMBioS Undergraduate Research Conference at the Interface of Mathematics and Biology.<\/p>\n

Highlights of the conference included keynote presentations by Joseph Tien<\/a> of The Ohio State University (“Cholera Dynamics: Blackboard, Bedside, Bench”) and Jeremy Smith<\/a> of University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (“Computer Simulation for Renewable Energy, Environmental Science & Drug Design”). Later, the two joined Suzanne Lenhart<\/a>, NIMBioS Associate Director for Education & Outreach, for a Q&A session on careers and graduate school. Other highlights were the student talks themselves — over 50 student poster and oral presentations on using mathematics and computer science to tackle questions in biology from the tiniest scale (genes, proteins, biomolecules) to the largest (ecology of interacting populations).
