1xbet online games login Research Scholars Program recognizes scholars and mentors
Summer 1xbet online games login student research projects took center stage on the first day of August for the presentation of posters and recognition of scholars and mentors. The 2024 session of the 1xbet online games login Research Scholars Program, VRSP, accepted 25 students who collaborated with research mentors both inside and outside the College of 1xbet online games login Medicine. The group also included visiting scholars from other 1xbet online games login colleges and countries.
"In this program, 1xbet online games login students are paired with experienced research faculty from the College of 1xbet online games login Medicine, across the K-State campus and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to gain hands-on experience with 1xbet online games login research," said Kate KuKanich, professor of small animal internal medicine and director of the 1xbet online games login Research Scholars Program. "Scholars also participate in interactive weekly activities, tour research facilities, and meet a variety of 1xbet online games login researchers to learn about 1xbet online games login career opportunities."
KuKanich said the objective of the 1xbet online games login Research Scholars Program is to introduce 1xbet online games login students to biomedical research through an engaging summer experience and to encourage talented 1xbet online games login professional students to enter 1xbet online games login careers involving research.
"At the end of the summer, scholars presented their research posters for K-State faculty, research colleagues, students, alumni, and corporate friends and donors," KuKanich said. "We were delighted to present this year’s mentoring award with thanks to our award sponsor, Elanco. This award is special because mentors are nominated by their 1xbet online games login scholars, and each year we have such wonderful mentors in our program. This year's recipient is Dr. Jeba Chelladurai, who was nominated by Amanda Roth."
“Dr. Chelladurai is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind, always offering support and encouragement to those under her guidance. Her exemplary mentorship has profoundly impacted my academic and personal journey, making her truly deserving of this award,” Roth said.
Student projects this year included studies such as the use of a virtual cow herd to evaluate the efficiency and sustainability of cows with diverse genetics, assessing mosquito problems on swine farms, evaluating risk factors for cruciate ligament ruptures in dogs and more.
The VRSP and USDA hosted 1xbet online games login students from Michigan State University, Texas A&M University, the University of Missouri and Utrecht University. Other mentors in attendance included scientists from the K-State's entomology department and the USDA Agricultural Research Service.
The VRSP will culminate with the 1xbet online games login Scholars Symposium from Aug. 8-10 in St. Paul, Minnesota, where the scholars will share research posters with other 1xbet online games login scholars from across the globe. The symposium is cosponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and the American Association of 1xbet online games login Medical Colleges.
