Undergraduate Research Conference at the Interface of Mathematics & Biology 2012

More than 100 students from 44 different institutions in 19 U.S. states, Washington D.C., and two Canadian provinces converged on Knoxville on Nov. 17-18 to present their research at the fourth annual Undergraduate Research Conference at the Interface of Mathematics and Biology, hosted by NIMBioS.

  1. Keynote speaker was Georgia Tech's Christine Heitsch (above, far right) who talked about the combinatorics of RNA viruses.

  4. RT @NIMBioS: Good morning undergrads! Did you dream of RNA viruses, disease models, bats and dolphins? #urc12
  5. @TaraThean :) “@NIMBioS: #urc12 We can evaluate dolphin whistles qualitatively and quantitatively. Thean”
  6. RT @NIMBioS: Good morning undergrads! Did you dream of RNA viruses, disease models, bats and dolphins? #urc12
  7. Invasive mussels having a big effect on light reaching further depths in Lake Michigan and you can model it too. #urc12
  8. Good morning undergrads! Did you dream of RNA viruses, disease models, bats and dolphins? #urc12
  9. RT @NIMBioS: #urc12 Individual-based models best for epidemiological ?s involving relationships w/in small groups or those that involve history. Glasser
  10. RT @scientistlou: Chistine Heitsch gave great overview of combinatorics and RNA secondary structure and Shakespeare! #urc12
  11. RT @NIMBioS: John Glasser from @CDCgov recommends The Web of Belief by Quine & Ullian 1970 #urc12 #RationalThinking
  12. #urc12 We can evaluate dolphin whistles qualitatively and quantitatively. Thean
  13. #urc12 "Reduce your number of partners" is somewhere between irrelevant and counter-productive, network models of STI's show. Glasser
  14. #urc12 Looking at networks of sexual partners over time makes some really interesting trees.
  15. Weibull model, Kaplan Meier estimators as predictors of a dynamic network... Hmm yes I know some of these words #urc12
