While I was looking for some insight into how the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) works, I stumbled across the Undergraduate Research Community's website. In addition to a very well-written article on treatment options for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and HIV, I found a community dedicated to publishing undergraduate research articles.
The Undergraduate Research Community (URC) prints an annual research Journal named the Undergraduate Research Journal for the Human Sciences. The URC invites students of participating institutions to submit original research reports to their journal in order to match undergradute students with research experience to graduate biology programs. Talk to your school about participating. I know I'll be emailing my department head at UNO. Apparently, if your college of sciences department head agrees, they must email the URC to become affiliated.
If you would rather not talk to teachers--scary, I know--any undergraduate student can sign up as an author on the Council of Undergraduate Research website. Once you fill out a curriculum vitae (a form detailing past research experience and other papers authored), your name, information, and future research reports will be in that registry for graduate school recruiters to see. These recruiters can contact you from there.
The URC also holds an annual research conference for authors to present posters on their original research. So what are you waiting for? Go sign up at the URC's registry and look good for grad school! If nothing else, check out the gold mine of scientific information found in the journal articles. Here are some good ones I thought you might like:
