By completing a variety of Research Tools Workshops, you’ll gain familiarity with equipment, techniques, and analyses that will open up more opportunities for you as a researcher. Science research fellows are required to participate in at least three workshops before graduation. We recommend completing your workshops during the first- and sophomore years, so that you gain skills and find possible research fits.  Students may attend more than three workshops and are also encouraged to participate in workshops during their junior and senior years to continue to learn more tools and techniques.

Online courses

The Science Research Fellows Program allows students to count up to two online courses towards the Research Tools requirement. If you want to use these as part of the program requirements, contact the director, Dr. Khadija Stewart, to share details about the course before you take it, and she will review for approval. As online courses are approved, the director will add them to this list so students see approved options. After completing the course, provide a certificate of completion during the same semester/summer that you took the course.
