This year, 11 Etown students attended the northeast conference as part of the Rho Lambda chapter. The conference was split into two sessions comprised of either poster presentations or oral presentations, with research topics ranging from infectious diseases to cell growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud that Elizabethtown College frequently has the largest cohort of students presenting at TriBeta,\u201d Dean of the School of Sciences Jodi Lancaster said. \u201cIt is a wonderful way for faculty and students at other regional institutions to see the high-quality research our students conduct and their excellent presentation skills.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Three Etown students were recognized for their research in the Frank G. Brooks Awards category, which recognized standout participants who presented their research. Second place was awarded to Biotechnology major Kimberly Manning \u201923, third place was awarded to Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major Emily Harding \u201923 and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major Kaylynn Leap \u201923 received Honorable Mention.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be awarded second place for my presentation means a lot, given that I have poured my heart into this work,\u201d Manning said. \u201cI even stayed over spring break and spent late nights in the lab. To be awarded this recognition made it all worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n

The conference included presentations from 18 different chapters of TriBeta, with a total of 17 higher-ed institutions across the northeast region being represented at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my favorite parts of being a scientist is being able to present my research,\u201d Manning said. \u201cBeing able to communicate scientific information effectively is a valuable trait that increases accessibility to \u2018non-scientists\u2019 to broaden the impact of the work further.\u201d<\/p>\n
