  1. Training Tomorrow’s Scientists Jun Jiao, Portland State University, 1004737 • Intellectual Merit: Inspiring science education and careers. • The highlight of this year’s REU program was the excitement level of our participants. Many students were given the opportunity to work in well-equipped labs for the first time and as a result, have re-commited themselves to the study of science. • I learned that I definitely want research to be a part of my future.Claire Couch, University of Portland • My time at Portland State this summer has helped me decide to pursue future educational opportunities in practical applications of science and engineering rather than purely academic research. Jay Poloney, Rogue Community College • My time in the REU program has helped me determine my interests and possible future career paths. Before the start of this program I thought about pursuing a career in biology or business, and my experiences here have reaffirmed my interest in biology. Amber Tang, Lake Oswego HS Brandon Marozas was placed with Dr. Mark Weislogel to study microfluidics in a zero gravity environment. His excitement was infectious!

  2. Encouraging OutreachJun Jiao, Portland State University, 1004737 • Broader Impact: Encouraging outreach to young students • REU participants volunteered at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) to help introduce young children to the excitement of science. • A member of the Science Outreach Society (SOS) of Portland State gave a demonstration and seminar educating REU participants on how to modify their research presentations to a middle school audience. It is expected that several participants will continue to participate in such outreach programs. OMSI Outreach: Julie Rorrer, Tracie Tran, and Brendon Marozas work with a volunteer coordinator to set up a chromatography station for young visitors to the museum.
