BIO


Hi everyone! My name's Leo. I'm currently a second-year food and nutrition science major from Coconut Creek, Florida. I don't have specific research interests, as I'm always open to experimenting and enjoying new experiences. That's my approach to most of my decisions, willing to learn and malleable to various situations. I enjoy running, reading, and watching sports in my free time.

Abstract


This poster session will showcase what three undergraduate students learned during their year-long Research Apprenticeship. The students learned introductory research skills, including writing a literature review and how to collect and code qualitative data. In addition, students learned how to perform content analysis and run preliminary descriptive statistics. These students are part of the FSU Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) which provides high-achieving students an opportunity to explore their interest in research. Preliminary results of the research project will also be presented.
