This is one of the big highlights of the semester, and always features a lot of really neat student efforts. If you're in the area, check it out.

Update. When the #UBuffalo cancelled its #Elsevier #BigDeal, "faculty were supportive…There was frustration expressed with the current structure of the publishing industry, particularly with the exorbitant pricing of journal subscriptions…Data showed a decrease in usage on the #ScienceDirect platform and [an affordable] increase in requests for unavailable articles" through other channels described in the article.

In just a few days, students from #UBuffalo will be traveling to #Tanzania and visiting CLAO, a partnering #NGO in #Mwanza that is engaging a People with Albinism (#PWA) community in #Beekeeping as a way to generate revenue and support their most critical needs including #Education and protection. Our students will help construct the hives and get the project started. We look forward to continued collaboration through #ProjectChallenges https://www.buffalo.edu/eln/students/project-portal/host-page.host.html/content/shared/www/eln/project-portal/project-profiles/active-projects/tanzania-study.detail.html
