This summer, 10 undergrads came to Brown for the 2022 DEEPS-Leadership Alliance REU The students made excellent progress on their research projects. We also gathered for twice-a-week group meetings to talk about experiences, research projects, grad school opportunities, writing research abstracts, and preparing research talks. The students took part in the professional development workshops and networking opportunities offered by the Leadership Alliance, and presented their research at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium and at the Brown Summer Research Symposium. Many students also have plans to present their work at national science meetings in the coming year.
