Ashley L. Waring-Sparks; Rachel A. Waring-Sparks; Rebekka Darner; Nathan T. Mortimer – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
While undergraduate research has been shown to be a high-impact educational practice, it is logistically impossible for all undergraduate biology majors to have long-term faculty-mentored research experience. Therefore, biology educators and researchers must devise opportunities to engage more students in undergraduate research outside of working…

Pelzer, Nancy L. – 1981
A study evaluated several characteristics of authors published for the first time in two basic science research journals: "Brain Research," a well-established journal founded in 1966 (the first of its type); and "Brain Research Bulletin," a more recent journal founded in 1976. For the weekly "Brain Research," new…
