'What Are You Working On?' Students Talk Summer Research

On the prowl for new knowledge, Davidson Research Initiative students dove deep across disciplines this summer to tackle cancer therapy, race relations, eating disorders, synthetic biology, biomedical ethics, electronic literature, ocean pollution, opiate addiction, ranking algorithms, neurological disease and the nature of the edge of the universe. DRI grants offer Davidson students a generous weekly stipend, room and board, and travel and expense funding for 10 weeks of collaborative research with a faculty mentor.
