The posters are staffed by the undergraduate and graduate students who performed the research. The projects displayed represent original research projects from the laboratories of COS faculty. Many of the projects are funded by federal, state and other grants, and eventually lead to publications in scientific journals. Some of the posters have been presented at national or international scientific conferences.  \nCOS Student Research Day showcases the broad range of research activity in the College of Science and recognizes the opportunities available to our students, many of whom move into the workforce or continue on to graduate or professional schools. The research experience they gain as students proves invaluable in their careers in science. The student presenters eagerly describe and discuss their research projects and resultson Student Research Day.  \nThe campus community and public are invited to view the posters and talk to the student researchers in an event that is free and opentothe public.  \nThe 21st COS Student ","cbCaih8JqI2VZZ8K","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih8JqI2VZZ8K","pdf",3921339,15,"English","# Local Section News\n## Chemists Celebrate Earth Week\n## 21st Annual SJSU College of Science Student Research Day\n## Chair's Message\n## Contributors to this Issue\n## Upcoming Events\n## STEM Zone 2026\n## P.I.E.F.E.S.T. - 5th Annual Bay Area Pasifika S.T.E.A.M.
