Ten students will have the opportunity for a 10-week, real-life, undergraduate research experience beginning next summer at UK, thanks to a recent NSF grant awarded to David Westneat in UK's Department of Biology.
Scott Hutson, a professor in the Department of Anthropology, recently received a Maya Area Cultural Heritage Initiative Grant and a National Science Foundation Grant for his ongoing work in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Hutson discusses the projects for which he received these grants, how his archaeological research engages with contemporary communities, and how the College of Arts and Sciences has played a supportive role in his research career.
