Showcase for Undergraduate Research Excellence at UCF (SURE)

Several people are gathered around a poster board, attentively reading and discussing its contents in a conference or academic setting.

de Bekker lab undergrads, Brianna and Sara, presented posters at the UCF Showcase for Undergraduate Research Excellence. Undergraduate researchers from all departments across campus were there to present their research and compete for the Best Poster Awards. Brianna presented her Summer research at NC State with Dr. Bonnie Blaimer. Sara presented the current state of her longitudinal field study, investigating zombie ant graveyards here in Central Florida. Sara was even one of the lucky Poster Award Winners! Congratulations to both on a job well done!
