Plant Biology Internships
Paid internship at the Danforth Plant Science Center
The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center will be hosting an internship this summer in plant biology. Experience a rich research environment and learn everything from research design to experimentation reporting. Faculty mentors and staff provide insight into the personal qualities that make a good researcher, the process and training involved in becoming a scientist, and the broader impact of scientific discovery.
This internship offers students:
- Hands-on research experience
- Workshops in state-of-the art facilities
- Field trips
- Biotechnology seminars
The program runs for 11 weeks from May 22 - August 4, 2017 and provides housing for non-local interns.

Academic Support Spotlight: BIOL 141
Hi Retrievers! This is a feature on our myUMBC page where we highlight a class at UMBC and tell you guys what resources there are to help you do your best.
BIOL 141, or Foundations of Biology: Cells, Energy, and Organisms, is another large class at UMBC. Considered to be "Bio for Majors," this class is designed to be a rigorous preparation for upper level Biology courses. However, BIOL majors should not be the only ones on the look out for this class--it's recommended for CHEM education and it can be a prerequisite for BIOL 302, which is required for most med schools and dental schools. So whether you're a future researcher on the Human Genome Project, or you're the next medical prodigy, BIOL 141 is a class you want to succeed in. Thankfully, there's tons of academic support on our campus to help you do well!
SI-PASS: If you're in BIOL 141 and you don't know what SI-PASS is, now is a good time to find out! Supplemental Instruction at UMBC are Peer Assisted Study Sessions where an SI PASS leader guides students through study sessions. SI PASS leaders also conduct exam reviews before tests. There are SI PASS sessions for BIOL 141 every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday!! You can find out times for SI PASS on the ASC website.
Biology Learning Center: Having problems in BIOL 141? Not a problem! The Biology department runs its own Biology Learning Center! Led by one of the senior lecturers in the Biology department, the Biology Learning Center has its own peer tutors that can help students in any core biology course. Tutoring is one-on-one and very flexible--students can contact the tutors directly and make arrangements to meet with them on their own and as often as they'd like. The Biology Learning Center is located in the Biological Sciences Building, Room 011! Stop by and get help today.
LRC Appointment Tutoring: Students who want help in BIOL 141 can sign up for weekly, small group tutoring with a certified peer tutor! This is recommended for students who could benefit from consistent support in the course. You can sign up for weekly appointment tutoring on our website, or you can click the sign up button on our Facebook page!
BIOL 141 TAs: Teaching Assistants are great resources! Make sure you ask them for help--that's what they're there for?
Are you in BIOL 141? Do you swear by any of these things? Let us know in the comments!

Researcher of the Week: DeVenna Dixon
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet DeVenna,
She is an Environmental Studies major and an URACADian*. Devenna is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Lambda Phi chapter. She would like to continue her research regarding human/environment interaction and how they impact each other. Specifically, how African American’s are impacted by the environment and vice versa. Her future plans will be to join the Peace Corps.
She is will be creating a film that will explore “What does it mean to be Black in America?” Devenna will conduct interviews with a variety of subjects (known and unknown volunteers from the street) before and after the 2015 Baltimore uprising. The purpose of this research is to shed light on the reality of the Black American experience. Moreover, the ultimate goal was to gather individual feelings, to prove that stereotypes should not be used, and that everyone has a different understanding of what it means to be Black.
Read more about her research here…

Educational Psychology Internship
Summer Undergraduate Research Program at Virginia University
From the University of Virginia, Curry School of Education:
The Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) is a 10-week internship that provides undergraduates from underrepresented groups with valuable research and professional development experience under the guidance of UVA Faculty conducting education research.
This internship program is designed to encourage students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of education research to pursue graduate study and consider careers in academic, policy, or research organizations.
Interns will work on research focusing on schools, classrooms, and other youth settings as contexts critical to child and adolescent development. They will also participate in developmental workshops and meetings, and present at a research conference.
SURP interns will receive many benefits that will help them:
- Be prepared to apply to graduate programs in educational research
- Clarify and develop their research interests
- Expand their network of faculty, graduate students, and peer scholars
- Build a proficiency in statistical methods and at least one software program
- Develop greater familiarity with the contours of the research process and academic writing
Students will receive a stipend of $3000, support for travel to/from Charlottesville, and $500 towards meals.
The deadline to apply is FEBRUARY 1.
*See website for further details

Researcher of the Week: Sigfredo Soto
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Sigfredo,
He is a Physics major and an URA Scholar. Sigfredo transferred from Anne Arundel Community College with an Associates of Arts in Communications. He is an advocate for undergraduate research. "Take the opportunity if you can find it. It is eye opening and satisfying when you reach personal milestones. Find a mentor that you feel comfortable with. Take it as seriously as you would school work."
His research explores the skies above and is trying to understand the current mismatch between our observational and theoretical capabilities in the effort to understand the gamma-ray variable emission of blazars coming from the vicinity of a black hole. The goal of his research is to develop realistic numerical simulations to model the variable gamma-ray emission of luminous blazars, powerful relativistic jets emanating from the vicinity of the supermassive black holes found in the centers of active galaxies.
Read more about his research here…

Researcher of the Week: Sarah Pollock
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Sarah,
Sarah is a
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major as well as a
MARC U*STAR Scholar. She
is very interested in health policy and health disparities, and would like to get her Master's in Public Health before going to either medical school or graduate school (for a PhD in health and public policy). Sarah is also involved with the SUCCESS program and is the president of
Retrievers for Animal Welfare and Sustainability. In her spare time, she is a campus organizer for The Humane League and help organize the annual Baltimore VegFest held on UMBC’s campus.
Sarah participated in a group research project that explored a system to evaluate a novel sensor employing innovative nanoreaction chamber technology, which will track transient biomolecular interactions in real time at a single molecule level. They evaluated this sensor by studying the interactions between the FK506-binding protein (FKBP) and the FKBP12-rapamycin binding (FRB) domain in the presence of various small molecules such as rapamycin. FKBP bound rapamycin forms complexes with the FRB domain of mTOR, which is an essential regulator of cell growth and survival.
