USCB Student Kaiya Cain Presents a Poster at the 2018 Council on Undergraduate Research Meeting

Biology Major Kaiya Cain, a junior at USCB, completed a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program at the Savannah River Ecological Laboratory last summer. In late October, she traveled to Alexandria, Va., to present a poster at the 2018 Council on Undergraduate Research Meeting. The poster was titled “Cs-137 whole body burdens and plasma biochemistry profiles of Nerodia floridanaoccupying a former nuclear cooling reservoir.” It was co-authored with Kyle Brown, David Haskins, Melissa Pilgrim, and Tracey Tuberville. Each facility can nominate only one student, and only 10 percent of these students are selected to attend the symposium each year.
