OSU Physics undergraduates were busy in research labs all over the U.S. and the world during the summer of 2017. Many of them had National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) positions, others were working in laboratories in REU programs sponsored by other agencies, and some had industrial internships. All of them helped create… Continue reading
