From Neanderthals and pop culture fandoms to the future of police body cameras and the activity of neurons, the annual University Research Symposium will highlight student research on Friday, April 6, in the Brown Ballroom of the Bone Student Center. The symposium is a university-wide showcase of research, scholarship, and creative endeavors.
