Twelve undergraduate students participated 2016. They worked in eight different research laboratories in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Over a period of three summer months all students got an excellent inside about the ongoing scientific research and expectations of UWM graduate students. At the end of the program all students presented their work in form of a poster and summarized their work in a scientific written report. Many of these results will be part of future publications. The best poster was presented by Kimberley Butler.
