Archive for Student Publications Pre-2013
Many, if not most, biology department graduate students conduct research that leads to publication, and a surprising number of undergraduate students co-author published research in refereed science journals. Below are a representative list of recent (since 2006) examples of published journal articles with student authors and co-authors. For more comprehensive lists of publications, see individual faculty web pages.
