Congratulations to UGA Biology and Anthropology students William Walker and Anna Brachey, whose papers have been published in The Classic, the Writing Intensive Program’s journal of undergraduate writing and research. Their work is part of the Bioarcheology Special Issue 3.1.

William Walker examines skeletons from the Black Plague to suggest that when the Tudor reign usurped the throne, citizen health improved. You can read “Do Dead Men Really Tell No Tales? An Analysis of Health in Medieval London” http://theclassicjournal.uga.edu/…/do-dead-men-really-tell…/

Anna Brachey's paper looks at corsetry as a representation of social tensions and cultural discrimination against women in “Structural Violence and Human Biology” http://theclassicjournal.uga.edu/…/structural-violence-and…/

Congratulations to William Walker and Anna Brachey and all the students published in The Classic.

Undergraduate Research in Biology

Undergraduates majoring in biology have the opportunity to enhance their learning through direct participation in research and scholarship. At UGA, these opportunities enable undergraduates to participate in ground-breaking research, often as part of a team of graduate students and faculty. In fact, many students can earn academic credit while working under an experienced faculty mentor by taking BIOL 4960R or working directly with the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO). The Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Fellowship (BSURF) has been established to support undergraduate research opportunities in the Division of Biological Sciences within the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. The Fellowship provides financial assistance to students who have not had an opportunity to participate in a mentored research experience (paid, volunteer, or for credit) since matriculating to the University of Georgia.
