Eight students represented Barry University at this year's Life Sciences South Florida STEM Undergraduate Research Symposium (LSSF SURS)

The 8th annual Life Sciences South Florida STEM Undergraduate Research Symposium (LSSF SURS) was held on Saturday, April 10th, 2021. Of the 69 total presentations from 12 regional institutions, Barry was proudly represented by eight student presenters. During the virtual event, students delivered their presentations to judges and attendees using a Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) format, which requires that presenters are strictly limited to three minutes, can only use a single presentation slide, and must use language that can be understood by all.

We’re very proud of Barry University student Joanna Meyer, whose research project “Physicochemical Differences in Filtered versus Unfiltered Honey” won 4th place in the competition and a $300 award prize. We’d like to express a special appreciation to all of the Barry University students who presented this year, and wish them all the best as they continue to pursue their research!
