A new UC Davis storytelling platform highlights student research experiences.
“The Student Researcher” will showcase undergraduate and graduate stories from across campus and fields of study. These stories will focus on interdisciplinary collaboration with multimedia elements.
The new platform is part of In Focus, an effort by the Office of Strategic Communications to showcase how UC Davis is a leader in climate science, curiosity, food and health.
As a Research 1 university, UC Davis is conducting research at the highest level. Fewer than 200 institutions in the U.S. have this classification, and as a result UC Davis can offer students the opportunity to participate across all fields.
The launch story for “The Student Researcher” takes readers to the Bodega Marine Laboratory, where undergraduates can conduct their own independent research projects with the mentorship and guidance of expert marine faculty.
