2. Five undergraduate students who participated in internships in the 2009 WV-INBRE Summer Research Program
made poster presentations of the results of their summer research at national meetings during the spring.
Four students from West Virginia Wesleyan College, Cody Nichols, Sarah Owen, Amanda Seebaugh, and Chris Wolf,
presented at Experimental Biology 2009 in New Orleans, LA, and one student from West Virginia State University,
Daniel Palmer, presented at the 48th Annual Meeting of the Society of Toxicology in Baltimore, MD. The
citations of their presentations are:

Cody’s comments on the meeting: “The meeting was a good experience for me. Presenting at the undergraduate
poster session gave me a chance to speak to different people and learn more about opportunities that are open
to me after I finish my undergraduate degree.”Meg
