Nine of 10 REACT students in the 2018 cohort (T. Egbo not pictured) and 4 alums of the summer research program at the pre-trip preparation meeting, April 2, 2018.
Most of the 2018 cohort of REACT students started their research at GIANT on May 14 in labs of our French REACT partners. This year’s group includes five undergraduates* (including one from Bryn Mawr College1 and one from Villanova2) and five graduate students** (including one from Alabama State3). French hosts, project areas and students are below. One of the 2017 alums4 has also returned this summer with funding from a Chateaubriand Fellowship, which supported her research time in Strasbourg before arriving in Grenoble in May.
