Students in the R-J lab have the opportunities to attend local and national meetings to present their research.  These meetings are usually affiliated with the American Society for Microbiology.  Support for student travel for these meetings is provided by a variety of mechanisms including the University of Richmond School of Arts and Science, the American Society for Microbiology travel grants, and the National Institutes of Health.
