Inquiro: UAB's Undergraduate Research Journal
This edition of inquiro, number 13, is indeed fortunate. The breadth and diversity of research at UAB is on full display. Philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, finance, and surgery are just some of the disciplines represented. All of this is available in the latest issue of inquiro, UAB’s undergraduate research journal. Continuing the collaboration between the UAB Honors College and the Office of Service Learning and Undergraduate Research, inquiro is student-led and operated. The student-led editorial board continues to grow and develop every year with a mix of now-experienced members working with new and inventive colleagues. This team is led by new Co-Editors-in-Chief Afsheen Fatima and Brady Robinson, who have collaborated with seventeen other impressive undergraduate board members. Each member brought their own experiences and knowledge to the process that includes reviewing submissions, recruiting faculty reviewers, creating new marketing materials and a successful social media plan. They have kept the momentum created by their predecessors, expanding on the work to showcase what is being accomplished at UAB.
Working together they have built on the strong foundation from previous editions to provide a platform for undergraduates to share the incredible research and creative activity being done at this institution.
The cover image (taken by former co-editor and current board member Tamanna Patel) is a photograph of people excitedly documenting bright sparks and moving light. Much like the people in the photo, we are in awe of the work before us. We are honored to share this latest edition of inquiro! We are immensely proud of the hard work of our students and their mentors and hope that you are as inspired by their work as we are.
