CUR is pleased to announce that LI-COR Biosciences will again sponsor the 2006 CUR Fellows Awards.  Two awards are bestowed upon CUR members who epitomize undergraduate research at each CUR National Conference.  In the past year our readers have seen the ads that LI-COR has placed in the CUR Quarterly.  We certainly hope that you will stop by LI-COR’s booth at the conference and also visit them at their webpage at http://www.licor.com/. Their laboratory products are very well suited for use in undergraduate – faculty research settings.

The CUR Fellows Award selection process is in the intermediate stages of review.  We are pleased with the selections and wish to congratulate those nominated thus far.
