The Science of Discovery
Contemporary research techniques and theory. Group discussion and college-level laboratory experience. Relevant, cutting-edge topics. High school students throughout the region rave about the Three Rivers Science Symposium. It's a day that will make a huge difference in sharpening your skills, not to mention introducing you to students at the university level - and you are invited to participate!
Spaces are limited.
This fall's symposium will enroll a limited number of highly qualified high school sophomore, junior and senior students. Participation is limited so you can work in small groups with our university faculty. Contact our office today by calling 260-399-8067, or emailing cexner@sf.edu, with any questions.
Fall Symposium Topics
Advanced Biological and Solid State Chemical Imaging
Director: Dr. Gary Bard and Dr. Teresa Beam
In this workshop, students will learn to use some of the most advanced imaging technology available to scientists today. Students will learn theory and gain practical experience in the techniques of scanning electron microscopy, confocal laser microscopy, polarized light microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and computer based image analysis. The experience gained will enhance college applications and provide the foundation for college-level experimentation.
