Improving police cars, recovering lost manuscripts: UH research da...( earch as well as from the Abramson Fam...)

earch, as well as from the Abramson Family Center for the Future of Health, which is dedicated to accomplishing the research, prescribing the action and training the people who provide Houston and its surrounding areas with the finest health care available in the world.

Preceding and overlapping with the grand faculty event is a showcase of the best student research at UH during the annual Sigma Xi Research Day, sponsored by the UH chapter of the scientific research society Sigma Xi. This sister student event to Research and Scholarship Day will begin at 9:15 a.m., March 30 and last until 12:30 p.m., March 31 in the Waldorf-Astoria room of the UH Hilton Hotel. During the Sigma Xi event, 76 undergraduate and graduate poster presentations, representing scientific and social sciences research, will be on display.

Judging for the Sigma Xi student event will take place from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., March 30, with a 4 p.m. reception announcing the student winners, along with the Sigma Xi Faculty Research Award recipient, who will give a public lecture in the fall.

"We've worked very hard over the last few years to create a Sigma Xi Research Day that mirrors a real scientific meeting so that students get a sense of what that entails," said Kelly M. Standifer, associate professor of pharmacology and president of the UH Sigma Xi chapter. "The time and effort that goes into the poster presentations is impressive. The students do an outstanding job, and their work is a great advertisement for UH. I hope everyone takes some time to walk through the posters and appreciate this for themselves."
