Freshman Research Initiative Students Selected to Present Posters in Washington, DC on Capitol Hill

College of Natural Sciences sophomores Vincent Au and Jae Seo Pi have been selected to present their research in Washington, DC at “Posters on the Hill.” This event, which is sponsored by the national organization The Council on Undergraduate Research, gives students the opportunity to present their research to members of Congress, congressional staff, and federal government officials. Au and Pi will be presenting their investigation of protein–ligand interactions, which they performed in the Synthesis and Biological Recognition Stream of the Freshman Research Initiative under the direction of Stephen F. Martin and Kristen Procko. Funding for travel was made possible by generous support from the Freshman Research Initiative.
