Wilson students at the 98th Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science

Seven Wilson College seniors presented the results of their research at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science (PAS), held March 17-19 at Gannon University, Erie, PA. 

The students began their projects in the spring of their junior year by writing a research proposal based on a specific question that they were interested in studying.  In the fall semester, they completed the lab work and collected data.  This semester they have been focused on data analysis, writing a thesis and preparing to communicate their results at PAS.  All students represented Wilson College with confidence, poise and professionalism. The biology, biochemistry, and chemistry faculty are proud of the students’ efforts in the laboratory/field and their dedication in preparing for the meeting.  They look forward to sharing their results on campus during Student Research Day. 

The Pennsylvania Academy of Science judged oral presentations and posters and provided a monetary award for the top three places and honorable mentions in each category.  Oral presentations were assessed in categories for scientific merit (ranging from experimental methodologies to analysis of results) and presentation qualities, including visual impact and fielding of questions. The overall score was reflective of all subcategories.
