There are secrets
that we still have left to find.
There have been mysteries
from the beginning of time.

So Ohio State is really into research.

One of the biggest Undergraduate Research event at OSU is the annual Denman Undergraduate Research Forum.

"But wait," you cry. "You're only a freshman! You can't possibly be allowed to present research at one of the largest and most prestigious undergraduate research forums in the nation!" That myth, along with many others, is dispelled on this page.

I had the fine honor of presenting the findings from my Spring Break trip to Honduras. (For more information on that, just scope my blog's March entries.) Long story short, we checked out the electrical energy consumption of a rural Honduran orphanage. For the Denman, we presented our findings and extrapolated them to the bigger picture of rising energy consumption in third world countries. It was a lot of work to convert our service project data into a real research presentation, but it was also a great learning experience.

Plus, between you and I, I totally plan on returning to the Denman in the next couple years. :-)

I really love that OSU has all these ridiculous opportunities. Honduras, [cursed] robot project, and even undergraduate research opportunities. It's all here, and it. is. awesome.

Lisa, Steve, and I present our poster at the Denman. Jess [not pictured] was our other group member.

Take care,
