Welcome To the Undergraduate Research in Microbiology Mentoring Network

 

Instructions for searching the Mentoring Network

Hi! If you have gotten this far into our web site you are probably engaged in an undergraduate project in microbiology or are seriously considering doing one. Congratulations, undergraduate research projects are for most professional microbiologists their first taste of science the way it is actually done rather than the repitition of "exercises" as practiced in the typical undergraduate course. Exercises have their place, but they should not be mistaken for science, in which the outcome of experiments is never certain and in which the investigator (you) plays a significant, even dominant, role in defining the problem, designing the protocol, conducting the research, and in reporting the results in some manner--whether in a formal lab report or a conference presentation.

 


Research in science is one of the most exciting occupations we can imagine, but it is not for everyone. This project you are considering will not only expose you to the physical and intellectual tools of the scientist but will let you "try out" the life style of a working scientist in a low risk environment to see if this might just possibly be for you.

 


It is easy to model most aspects of the scientific process in an undergraduate laboratory, literature search, protocol writing, and technical writing, but one aspect is difficult to emulate. When working scientists encounter a problem, it is not uncommon for them to pick up a phone or turn to a keyboard. Colleagues are just an electronic instant away. With students, however, the only scientist nearby is their instructor. As good as any instructor may be, he or she is only one individual with limited experience and he or she may not always be able to suggest a solution. This sort of experience with our own students prompted us to design this mentoring component of our web site: The Undergraduate Research Mentoring Network.

 


Further down this page is a list of over one hundred microbiologists. The list includes experienced teachers, and academic, government and industry researchers. Each has a strong interest in undergraduate education and the effective training of the next generation of scientists. Their combined experience is enormous, and although we are sure there are research areas not covered in the following data base, we trust that they will be few and will become fewer as more names are added to the list. Each of these scientists has agreed to serve as a mentor/advisor to students just like you who are making their first explorations into the field of research microbiology. They have agreed to accept requests for advice and to respond promptly with appropriate counsel and suggestions. The student must understand that the role of the mentor/advisor is to guide and suggest, not to direct and design the students research project. Little growth will occur if the mentor takes too assertive a role. Often the best advice will consist of asking questions for the student to consider or perhaps the suggestion of a few appropriate literature citations. Often too, the best service may be to listen to the student's proposal and provide encouragement and a few practical tips to help the student gain confidence in her/his own abilitiy.

 


If you wish to contact one of the scientists listed below please keep in mind that they are generous but also very busy people. They are anxious to help you, but it is your responsibility to use their time well.

When contacting a mentor, please:


How to Contact a Mentor/Advisor Over the Internet.

You may access the mentor data base in either of two ways.

 1. You can simply scroll down the list and read the entries in alphabetical order. This is a good way to get an idea of the variety and types of Key Words the scientists have submitted to describe their research and teaching interests.

 2. Alternatively, you can choose the [FIND] function of your web browser and type in a key word (eg Cyanophage).

 Press [Return] and the finder will bring up the first entry in the data base containing that word.

 To search further, press [Find Again]. When no further matches are found the finder will indicate this with an audible tone.

 If no matches are found, try another Key Word.

You may truncate the term you are using to broaden your search. Using "muta" for example will yield mutagen, mutation, mutagenesis and mutant.

 


Having found a match, click on the scientists name at the end of the data base entry. This will bring up a dialog box labled [Send Mail] or [Post To] and will have the scientists e-mail address already printed.

 Insert your e-mail address and include any relevant information and questions.

 When your are finished press [Send] and your message will be on its way.

 In order to keep abreast of the use of the UMR web site it would be helpful if when sending requests to your mentor to also [POST TO] jel5@psu.edu. This will permit us to see what topics are being requested most frequently and to add people in areas where the demand is high.

  


Trouble?

If after a search you are unable to find the topic, please [MAIL TO] John Lennox and list key words describing your project. He will try to find someone with that expertise willing to join the network.

 Because of the volunteer nature of the UMR network and the mobility of scientists, it is possible that you will find an e-mail address inactive. If so, please notify John Lennox at jel5@psu.edu


We at the UMR website wish you success in your research project. If the mentoring net or any part of this web site has been useful to we would appreciate a note. Suggestions and constructive criticism are also welcome John Lennox at jel5@psu.edu

    Research Interests: The molecular mechanisms which control morphology and development in eucaryotic cells are poorly understood. Specifically, we are interested in the molecular mechanism controlling development in the dimorphic fungus Mucor racemosus. Presently, the regulation of t*he expression of the microtubule proteins alpha and beta tubulin, is the focus of our research. Characterization of genomic clones of the tubulin genes is under way. Transcriptional control of these genes is of particular interest.
