Nearly 300 undergrad research projects to be displayed

The effects of ethanol consumption on learning in honey bees, the development of an experimental sport/entertainment venue, and the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students toward HIV/AIDS patients are among the more than 300 research projects that will be featured Wednesday (5/18) at the 10th annual Richard J. and Martha D. Denman Undergraduate Research Forum.

Some of the university’s best and brightest undergraduate researchers will display their projects from noon to 5 p.m. at the French Field House, 460 Woody Hayes Drive. Judging of the projects will begin at noon, and the awards ceremony will take place from 4 to 5 p.m. President Karen Holbrook will attend at approximately 3 p.m.

Now in its 10th year, nearly 300 students will showcase their work in all undergraduate research areas, including categories in agriculture/environmental sciences, arts/architecture, biological sciences, health professions, engineering and humanities.

Cash prizes will be awarded in each of the final research categories and the research projects will be published in Ohio State’s “Journal of Undergraduate Research Scholarship.” The forum is funded through a major gift from long-time university supporters Richard and Martha Denman.
