Our interns didn’t let the COVID-19 pandemic stop them from brainstorming, collecting, analyzing and presenting their independent research projects at the 2021 Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS). This year our interns completed projects on a wide array of topics including the impact of virtual school on motivation, the body positive movement on TikTok during COVID-19, and discussions of the birth control implant Nexplanon on Twitter.
