Biology 研究 Opportunities – Summer Turtle Field 研究 and Much More
Get Laboratory and Field Experience
Laboratory experience and fieldwork opportunities in ecology, 神经科学, 微生物学, 遗传学, 病原体, paleontology and much more are available to biology students at 俄亥俄州. Some experiences take place in a traditional laboratory, but for many 俄亥俄州 faculty, their “lab” might entail fieldwork in a forest or a stream.
Laboratory experience is highly valuable if you’re interested in attending professional or medical school. 研究 experience is essential if you’re planning to go to graduate school.
Study Diamondback Terrapins in Maryland
From mid-May until early August students join Dr. Willem Roosenburg in Maryland to study diamondback terrapin population dynamics. Students trap and catch turtles, locate turtle nests, and learn state of the art demographic data collection techniques. The field site is a large scale ecological restoration site where students also will learn and witness practical aspects of ecosystem restoration.

- Note that some faculty take first- and second-year students in their labs, but upper-level research and thesis courses may have prerequisites.

Become part of a lab community
"My favorite part of doing research has been working with the other people in the Carroll Lab. They're an amazing group of people and make coming into work every day so fun.”
"I wanted to try to solve the mystery of this interesting result, and I had already been building my skills taking care of our human macrophage cells for the lab, and thus my thesis project was born!"
