Greetings Neuroscience Bruins,
Thank you all again for your patience as we navigate the Spring Quarter transition to remote learning. Regarding Neuroscience (NEUROSC) 199ABC/198AB research contracts for the Spring Quarter, we have updated important information that was presented at a research labs town hall yesterday. The updated protocol provided below was presented by Deans Kelsey Martin and Victoria Sork and the attached document presenting alternatives for 199/198’s was provided by the Undergraduate Research Center- Life Sciences.
First, if you are able to defer starting your NEUROSC 199A/198A research contract, we recommend waiting until the Fall Quarter to begin when we hope to all be back on campus.
Second, if you are continuing with a NEUROSC 198B, 199B, or 199C research contract OR must begin NEUROSC 199A or 198A to graduate within your time to degree, please read below:
UPDATE: It was presented at the town hall that undergraduate students will not be able to participate in lab research in-person for Spring Quarter. However, Dean Sork emphasized that faculty mentors can try to identify remote lab activities for you to carry out to complete your 199/198 contracts.
Because undergraduate students will not be able to continue lab research in-person, please review and share the document attached in this email from the Undergraduate Research Center (URC)- Life Sciences with your faculty mentor about alternative options for completing your contract.
We are putting the finishing touches on a CCLE site to upload your contracts and will provide updated directions soon about how to turn in the contracts and supplemental information remotely. Spring Quarter contracts will still be due by Friday of Week 1 to allow time for approval and enrollment.
Thank you all for your patience and please let us know if you or your faculty mentor have questions.
Thank you,
Chair, Dr. Stephanie White.
Vice Chair, Dr. Christopher Colwell
