New College of Florida: Peruvian Amazon the field courses observation sloths sleep sounds boring errand,, but it "will change your life," the 20-storey high-altitude tropical rainforest, a new graduate students and biologists Bryson said Wolin (BrysonVoirin). More than half of the world's terrestrial species live in trees, many of which never touch the ground. Unfortunately, most scientists have never left the ground, canopy-climbing pioneer and ecologists Meg Lohman (MegLowman), which also explains why scientists have less than 2% of the canopy record. New College of Florida students from the first year of college began climbing trees of subtropical Sarasota. Students learn to investigation or the radiolabeled animal biodiversity. Wolin, undergraduate had sloths in Panama tracking the mysteries of the Max Planck Institute of birds collected data, help untie human sleep

 

Carnegie Mellon University: The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Mecca, 29 years has been the stronghold of the robot manufacturer. This is the first granted by the University of the robot doctorate, it is now providing undergraduates a minor class assembly the water walking mini robot or manufacturing automatic SUV to participate in the DARPA Urban Challenge, Carnegie Mellon University took first place last year

 

Northern Kentucky University: Barton laboratory if you want to get into the sea Sophie Barton (HazelBarton), the list of courses, 16 and eventually became one of the lucky undergraduates. You'd better like the narrow space,, high altitude, the dark, bats have been made dirty - all this just to get bacteria. Microbiology professional day playing with the microscope and petri dishes and other schools are not the same, the the Barton lab students learning spaces in extreme microbes thrive place: cave. Most of Barton's students closer to home in the cave, measuring the link between groundwater pollution and microbes and cave structure. However, NASA's assistance, to explore some of the students with the Barton longest quartzite cave on the planet, this is a rare 16-kilometer-long, pink and amber sandstone labyrinth, located in Venezuela plateau of Los force Mok. The researchers believe that the cave abounds in microbes, provide clues to possible for us to understand the way of life on Mars biological. Most caves formed by limestone, a carbonate. But rock of Los force Mo plateau, the main component of silicate rock found on Mars. The team collected nitrogen into ammonia, microorganisms and other strange creatures living in the cave wall. Back at the lab, students will observe the behavior of the bacteria in the different conditions,, and to collect information to help NASA search for extraterrestrial life
