The Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society held its annual student research conference in Durham, NC as an opportunity for science students ranging from the high school to postdoctoral level to present their research progress in a professional setting.  Six Hampden-Sydney students presented their research at this meeting, which was attended by students from all over the United States and from large research institutions including Duke, Cornell, the University of Rochester, and Georgetown.

The meeting gave the Hampden-Sydney students the opportunity to receive outside feedback on their research and to get experience in how a professional meeting work in the biological sciences.  Workshop opportunities allowed students to learn about career opportunities in science journalism and finding summer research opportunities.
