2013 Apr 16

Research relating to cancer, genetics, medicinal plants and social relationships was among student research presented at the 13th annual University of Kansas-Haskell Indian Nations University Undergraduate Research Symposium, including work by Kayla Sale: "Comparing Stomatal Characters in Glacial and Modern Conifer Leaves," a KU ecology and evolutionary biology and mathematics major from Olathe. She is the daughter of John and Jamea Sale.

Thirty students were expected to present posters of their science and engineering research from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at Tecumseh Hall at Haskell Indian Nations University.

The presenters included undergraduate and graduate-level students at both universities. They participate in programs that encourage underrepresented students to pursue research careers in biomedical science, including: the Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program at Haskell and KU, the Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement Program at Haskell, the Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity Program at KU and the Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program at KU.
