Courtney Brimmer '12

Coming to DePauw, when I thought of science research, doing math research wasn’t what I pictured. But, in truth, the experience was a valuable lesson in both patience and critical thinking

Bryan Edwards '12

"DePauw’s Science Research Fellows program helped put me in a position to learn though experience and gain a better understanding of how scientific knowledge is first discovered."

Ruizhe Ma '12

“I have never expected that my DePauw experiences would have such a profound impact on me, especially in the aspects of shaping my path and defining my goals.”

Catie Baker '12

A SRF Student, an All-American NCAA Athlete, and a Goldwater Scholarship Winner, Catie Baker plans to attend grad school in hopes of making a difference.

Jon Cripe '12

Jon Cripe continued his love for competitive running at DePauw but also found a new love, physics. This led him to the Science Research Fellows program. He then was able to balance both of these interests while still conducting research abroad in England.

Becca Maddrell '11

Through her off-campus studies at DePauw, Becca Maddrell has been inspired to help the world. She plans to enroll in medical school and use that to give back.

Elizabeth Medlock '11

Elizabeth K. Medlock '11 discovered that interdiscplinary knowledge and clear communication are invaluable skills for a modern scientist.

Tanner Miller '11

Tanner M. Miller '11 traveled to Hawaii, Maine and Costa Rica, but he was never far from the lab.

Maggie Baber '11

Mixing environmental outreach with compelling research, Maggie B. Baber '11 set an example for what can be accomplished as an undergraduate.

Liz Anichini '12

My research experience in biology was really helpful in designing my independent research project in Public Health. Even though social science research is very different in methodology, the experience I gained in SRF designing a project, organizing results in a meaningful way and writing a clear and concise report were invaluable when I had to execute a project completely on my own. I hadn’t realized how much I had learned about research itself until I had to apply my skills to a completely different subject.
