In addition students receive training in chemical safety and hygiene. Students will also keep a research notebook, give an oral presentation of their work, and attend the National Organic Symposium at the University of Washington. At the NOS, a second meeting at the University of San Diego, and through the program students will have the opportunity to network with not only faculty at the school where they are conducting research, but with the other faculty in the consortium and with the consortium mentor.
