CASL students participate in Emergency Medicine Research Associate Program
A new University of Michigan-Dearborn partnership with St. Mary Mercy Hospital gives undergraduate students an inside look at clinical research. An inaugural group of seven UM-Dearborn students recently completed the yearlong Emergency Medicine Research Associate Program (EMRAP).
Flying high (and low): Bizarre migration habits perplex bird researchers
Billons of songbirds travel long distances during their annual migrations. Researchers have long believed that, in order to conserve energy, these birds might pick an altitude with favorable winds and stick with it rather than climbing and descending repeatedly.
A new study by University of Michigan-Dearborn Assistant Professor of Biology Melissa Bowlin shows that’s not necessarily the case.
Study Abroad in Poland
Enlightenment through education is key to making the world a better place. It is the ideal that propelled UM-Dearborn to offer a month-long undergraduate study trip to Poland, where students explored Polish history and learned about one of the darkest periods in human history.
