The GEP officially has a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm to allow us to continue our work to democratize research.
Donations are tax deductible.
In addition to our traditional publications, GEP students and their faculty mentors are publishing in microPublication.org, which publishes brief articles on research findings presented in a single figure to rapidly disseminate experimentally sound results to the community. For a full list of GEP microPublication articles, see the “Micropublications” page.
Congratulations to Dr. Vida Mingo, who is featured in the Personal Genetics Education & Dialogue’s (PGED’s) Community Spotlight for his work to deliver genetics education to a broad range of audiences.
The Midwest Node hosted a virtual Student Research Symposium on Thursday, May 8, 2025 via Zoom. Nine undergraduate students presented their research on the Pathways and Parrot Projects, with six GEP faculty in attendance. This meeting provided an opportunity for students and faculty to connect through discussion of research projects and for faculty to plan for the future of the Node. Dr. Jennifer Mierisch and Dr. Sarah Justice, Midwest Node Co-Leaders, moderated the sessions.
The Southeast Regional Node Spring Virtual Symposium was a success with 10 attendees from three institutions (Mercer University, The University of Alabama, and Louisiana State University).
