LAWRENCE Like all research activity, field studies have required adaptation during the past year. University of Kansas student researchers have welcomed the chance to work outdoors but have made adjustments with social distancing, driving separate vehicles and implementing other changes. One of the ways the Kansas Biological Survey provides support for student research is through its annual awards to help cover costs associated with KU students’ field experiments connected with the KU Field Station.
The Biological Survey, a KU designated research center, manages the Field Station. It has presented two doctoral students with its 2021 KU Field Station Student Research Awards. Each award provides $1,200 in support of the students’ research. During the 2021-2022 academic year, each student will present their research during one of the Biological Survey’s Friday Ecology Seminars, which went online during the past year.
