Visiting Student: Biology Scientific Posters at the University of Tampa

On Saturday January 26, 2024 was a voluntary visit to the University of Tampa (UT). I stumbled upon UT's Biology Department during the afternoon as a self-guided tour. The Biology Department housed the Invertebrate Zoology Lab, Marine Zoology Lab, Parasitology Lab, and undergraduate research. The walls of the department had numerous scientific posters from undergraduate students who attended the university. Two particular scientific posters grabbed my attention in the course of my visit. The first being, Observation of cellularization in fs(1)A1459 mutants by Charli Wingfield, Leif Benner, and Stephen Kucera. The second being, Sea Urchins as Indicators of Environmental Stress by H. Lydia Francis, Abigail Kirkpatrick, Abigail Wilson, Alana A. Acevedo, Kimberly Dobrinkski, and Michelle Roux-Osovitz.
