Congrats to the students in the 2021 DEEPS-Leadership Alliance REU for their outstanding work! Due to COVID-related restrictions, the 2021 program was virtual. We gathered for twice-a-week online meetings to talk about experiences, research projects, grad school opportunities, writing research abstracts, and preparing research talks. The students also took part in the online professional development workshops and networking opportunities offered by the Leadership Alliance, and presented their research at the virtual Leadership Alliance National Symposium.
