UHV students present research at conference in Austin

Robert Bari, a University of Houston-Victoria senior biology student, explains the process he used to collect data during a research presentation Saturday at the Fall Undergraduate Research Symposium hosted by the University of Texas at Austin. Bari, of Palacios, was one of three UHV students who presented research during the conference. The other UHV students were Kai Martinez of Mercedes and Tamera Hosey of Bloomington. The symposium showcases the latest advances in student research across Texas. UHV students participate every year to present, learn about other students’ research, and make connections for their futures.
