Make Your Own Virus

Nearly two dozen people gathered in the Collaboratorium for an unusual Brown Bag Lunch on Monday to learn a little about virus structure and to make their own beaded virus. Our beginning work looked nothing like Holly’s expert designs but we had fun trying!

Annual Science Expo

CMCI participants presented 24 posters at the Science Expo on Friday. The poster session and lunch buffet are part of CMCI’s annual meetings with External Advisory Committee (EAC).

In addition to attending the poster session, EAC members Irene Eckstrand, Harmit Malik and Fred Adler met with project leaders, CMCI modeling fellows and staff, U of I executives and heard reports Collaboratorium leadership.

Afterwards, the EAC concluded:

We commend the U of I’s commitment to CMCI even as senior leadership at the university is changing. Like you, we believe that CMCI is the shape of the future, and we offer our continued support.

CMCI is one of many organizations on the U of I campus that offers research opportunities to undergraduate students. David Pfeiffer, Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research says:

“Why would you pick a career without taking it out for a spin? Whether a student wants to go into the hard sciences or the creative arts, we encourage all University of Idaho students to get real-world experience in their fields of study.”

Vandals in Focus is a magazine created by undergraduate students about undergraduate student research. And the 2019 edition has just been released.
