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!

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.
