Eckerd College Biology Majors have opportunities to conduct research on-campus with Eckerd faculty as well as in labs off-campus. To celebrate these accomplishments, Eckerd hosts an annual Student Research Symposium.  Below is a list of some of the recent student research posters and presentations completed by Eckerd Biology majors (Biology students names in bold).
