Local UK undergrad presents research at capitol in Lexington
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The 22nd annual Posters-at-the-Capitol this semester featured 13 University of Kentucky undergraduate research projects that address such issues in Kentucky as public safety, energy conservation, homeownership and lung cancer prevention.
Among the presenters was Hannah Allen of Greenup, a biology major in UK’s College of Arts and Sciences. Allen’s topic was “Investigating the Effects of Pregnancy on the Freshwater Mussel Lasmigona costata’s Gut and Gill Microbiomes.”
Posters-at-the-Capitol is hosted by Eastern Kentucky University, Kentucky Community and Technical College System, Kentucky State University, Morehead State University, Murray State University, Northern Kentucky University, University of Kentucky, University of Louisville and Western Kentucky University. The event showcases the experience of undergraduate students engaged in research through poster displays. This year’s event had more than 100 student representatives from across the state displaying the results of their research.
With diverse research projects on display, Posters-at-the-Capitol allows those responsible for higher education funding in Kentucky to see the important role undergraduate research plays in the education of our students. Students learn more about the political process and how to advocate for undergraduate research at the local and state governmental level.
