Posted

Representing each of the four University of Missouri System universities, a handful of high-achieving students will travel to the Missouri Capitol to showcase their research at Undergraduate Research Day, scheduled 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, April 4, in the third floor rotunda.

This annual event marks an opportunity for students to share their research innovations with state legislators. This research spans a breadth of topics, including agriculture, biology, chemistry, education, engineering, health, history, physics, psychology, social services and transportation and infrastructure.

Forty-three students will present their research projects to Missouri lawmakers including 13 from the University of Missouri-Columbia, 12 from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, 11 from the Missouri University of Science and Technology and seven from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Among those scheduled to present for the University of Missouri-Columbia is Julianna Bayless, a junior from Gerald. Her project’s title is “Early Universe Behind a Lens: The Hidden Matter Revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope.”
