How do I Get Started
Come visit us! We are located on the first floor of the Undergraduate Science Laboratory Building (USLB), Room 140.
Do you have a question/issue you have been wanting to explore, and/or an idea you have wanted to turn into reality? We’d love to support you. Learn more about how to talk through your idea and refine it by checking our independent project cocreation Process.
Are you interested in learning more about the research life cycle and navigating its different stages from research design to translation? Check out our undergraduate research experiences.
If you are unsure about where to start, our Peer Leaders would be happy to give you a tour of the Discovery Lab and tell you more about our instruments/equipment. Schedule a tour
