Inquiring Minds: Holocaust Doctors
Both grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, undergraduates Rachelle Rubin (CAS’12) and Evelyn Liberman (CAS’12, SPH’13) have been helping Dr. Michael Grodin, a School of Public Health professor of health, law, bioethics, and human [...]rights, and a School of Medicine professor of sociomedical sciences and psychiatry, collect and organize an anthology of writings by and about Jewish doctors in ghettos and Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust.

Changing Course in :60
Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you should devote yourself to it. Just ask Abriella Stone.
"I started pursuing chemistry at BU because it always came so naturally to me," the junior says. "I felt an obligation because so many [...]people don't like it."
But she soon found herself filling the free spaces in her schedule with psychology classes. By sophomore year, Stone (CAS'14) was torn over which road to travel. To help her decide, she applied to the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, which provides students with the chance to assist BU faculty with their research. Stone spent last summer at the aphasia lab at Sargent College, where she helped stroke- and head trauma-victims regain their language skills. Hands-on and personal, it was a huge departure from beakers and Bunsen burners.
She also saw patients run out of insurance funds or transportation options. So Stone and her faculty mentor helped develop an iPad app that replicates the therapy they'd been receiving. And she's never looked back. "I really liked the clinical aspect and working not only for patients but on a team. It was rewarding to see the patients make progress because of something we produced."

Undergraduate Research in :60
This year, honors history student Diana Griffin (CAS'13) had the opportunity to travel not only to London, but through time. With grants from the Department of History and the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, Griffin spent the Fall [...]Semester haunting the London Archives for her thesis on Elizabeth I. Her family is nuts for the royals (her parents named each of their girls after British princesses), so the opportunity to get up close and personal with the monarchy's colorful history was the talk of the Griffin household. Little did they know how up close and personal. "I thought I would have to wear white gloves to handle the documents, but that wasn't the case," Griffin says. "Instead, I was holding the very same letters that Elizabeth held. My fingers touched the same places her fingers touched. It was so powerful. It was like I was suddenly there with her."

Whether innovating cheap, efficient ways to diagnose tuberculosis and cancer, or building a nanosatellite that measures the effect of solar storms on our power grids, Boston University Engineering undergraduates are engaged at the cutting edge of [...]research. More than 100 undergraduates, many in paid positions, work alongside faculty and graduate students each year to create solutions to some of society’s most challenging problems.

Inquiring Minds: Tracking Bats
As part of his undergraduate research project, Gordon Towne (CAS’12, GRS’12) trekked to the Texas hill country west of Austin with Thomas Kunz, the College of Arts & Sciences biologist whose career studying bats earned him the nickname [...]Bat Man. In an unusually blistering season even by Lone Star standards, they drove with other researchers to three bat caves and planted three cameras at strategic points near each entrance. Later, Towne used a software program he’d helped to create to translate the three video feeds, showing the bats from three different angles, into a three-dimensional grid on his computer screen.
