Research Day for the 2010 summer research scholars will be this Thursday, September 2. Research Day is an annual event that allows veterinary students who participated in the summer research programs to showcase their summer’s work. Students who were part of the Biomedical Sciences Summer Research Program will give oral presentations, and students in the Merial Scholars program will give oral presentations and present a poster. Presentations are scheduled from 8:30 A.M. to about 4 P.M. in Magruder 102. The poster session will be set up in the lobby all day with authors present during the noon hour.

Students showcase work at Research Day
On Sept. 3, veterinary students who participated in the Summer Research Program
had the opportunity to showcase weeks of effort to peers, family and faculty during
the 6th Annual Research Day. Students presented their research through
informational posters as well as oral presentations. Topics ranged from The Effect
of Selenium Supplementation in Sheep and Cattle Bioavailability and Immunity to
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus in Dogs, Cats and Horses at OSU VTH.
Those who presented were also judged and Tanya Neville was awarded the Top
Presentation Award for this year’s Research Day. She will receive a trip to a
conference in the continental U.S. There was some pretty tough competition, and
Tanya ended up with the highest score.
Students began the project in the winter by finding a mentor from the faculty and
writing their proposal. A research committee then decided funding based on the
proposal written by the student. Research began in mid-June and most lasted 8-9
weeks.
