Undergraduate
Research Opportunities |
| This semester
we will be conducting research on (a) animal
cognition and intelligence and (b) a rat model
of the negative impact of adolescent nicotine
exposure on cognitive abilities in adulthood.
If you are interested in working in the
Fountain lab as an undergraduate research assistant, you should:
If opportunities are still available and you
qualify, you will be interviewed by both graduate students and Dr.
Fountain. It is possible to earn college credit for
research activities through the course, PSYC 31498 Undergraduate
Research. |

| To be well informed, one
must read quickly a great number of merely instructive books. To be
cultivated, one must read slowly and with a lingering appreciation
the comparatively few books that have been written by [those] who
lived, thought, and felt with style. -Aldous Huxley |
I do not know what I may appear to the
world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on
the seashore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother
pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of
truth lay all undiscovered before me. -Isaac Newton |
| Truth does not change
according to our ability to stomach it. -Flannery O'Connor |
It is error only, and not
truth, that shrinks from inquiry. -Thomas Paine |
|
If we knew what it was we were
doing, it would not be called research, would it? - Albert
Einstein |
