Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) Summer Research

5 January 2023

Note from an Alumni…One other small thing I thought I would send back for Carleton’s radar is that the broader research center my lab is a part of, the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC), recently sent us information about their summer research programs, which a few are specifically designed for undergrads from small liberal arts colleges. The GLBRC has been a great group to be a part of so I am sure this would be a good experience!
