Congrats to the Bonners presenting summer research this week!

This week is presentation week for the students involved in the Oberlin College Research Fellows Program (OCRF) and the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF).  In 20 minutes, they have to coherently explain to the audience what they spent an intensive 7 weeks of their summer researching.  Piece of cake....right? 

Congratulations to all the OCRF Bonners presenting this week!  Their presentations are in Craig Lecture Hall (Lecture hall on the 2nd floor of the Science Center).
