Investigating the Ecology of MSU
From exploring how healthy the Red Cedar River is to why squirrels feel so safe on campus, come learn how student researchers from Dr. Lawrence's LB 144 classes investigated the natural world around MSU. Discover innovative techniques, sound experimental design, and how to present complex concepts.
Exploring Gene Regulation: Connecting Molecular Mechanisms to Phenotypes
This session, presented by students in Dr. Doherty's LB 145 class, will feature research posters highlighting how changes in gene regulation lead to diverse biological traits, from dogs with eyebrows to disease. Explore students' creative and evidence-based explanations, and celebrate their growing expertise in molecular biology and scientific communication.

Senior seminar students in Dr. Jackson's LB 492 class will share original research on how Transformer-based AI models are reshaping specific practices within STEM professions. Projects investigate STEM-related practices in contexts such as medicine and clinical care, research and development, and organizational management. Grounded in evidence from in-depth interviews, observations, and primary documents, each project offers a concrete, social scientific view of how AI is being integrated “on the ground.” The insights are timely and relevant—for students preparing to enter these fields and for faculty rethinking curriculum in response to AI-driven change.
