Background Information

The NASA Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Grant
This website describes experiments which have been proposed and funded for the summer of 2005. Our work in the spring semester of 2005 is crucial in preparing for the summer research.

For our spring and summer research, we will simulate the condition of microgravity in space by conducting experiments on laboratory rats that are suspended from a special apparatus.
