Student Activities
Student participants in the ETSU SMART-in-Math program presented their work at the
annual meeting of the Midsouth Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Society held
in Little Rock, Arkansas. The program was funded by the National Security Agency and
Drs. Ariel Cintron-Arias and Debra Knisley were the co-investigators. Three posters
were presented:
