Alabama A&M University
Nanjing Forestry University
National
Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduate Students |
Welcome! Other internship opportunities always
distracted me from Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) in the past.
The summer of 2012 was finally my chance to conduct my own research, not just
research, research abroad! Before my experience conducting research in The
Peoples Republic of China at Nanjing forestry University, I had never left
the country before. This exciting experience has provided me this not only
research education and experience but cultural education and experience. The
Peoples Republic of China provided me with a unique environment to learn in;
amongst cultural and language barriers, foreign equipment and a whole new
diet I learned quickly. The collaboration between my home
institution, Alabama A&M University, and the international Nanjing
Forestry University was the first of its kind funded by the National Science
Foundation. Eleven students, three graduates and eight undergraduates,
embarked on the adventure to China to conduct research in various areas of
ecology and biology. The links to the left provide further information on
these institutions. To the right are the links to pages
detailing my specific research and cultural experiences as well as my
presentation, research paper, information about me, my mentors and a photo gallery. Thanks for visiting my page. Enjoy! Nara McCray |
