USCB junior Kaiya Cain, a Biology major, completed a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program at the Savannah River Ecological Laboratory this summer. In late October, she traveled to Alexandria, Virginia, to present a poster at the 2018 Council on Undergraduate Research Meeting. The poster was titled “Cs-137 whole body burdens and plasma biochemistry profiles of Nerodia floridana occupying a former nuclear cooling reservoir.” It was co-authored with Kyle Brown, David Haskins, Melissa Pilgrim, and Tracey Tuberville. Each facility can only nominate one student and only 10 percent of these students are selected to attend the symposium each year.
