Students Prepare for Undergraduate Research Conference

  • by Julia Ann Easley

UC Davis student Natasha Bibbs of Sacramento has already gone places with academic research — and she hopes to go even further.

The fourth-year student travelled about 2,000 miles to Louisiana and more than 150 years back in time to discover how someone she believes is an ancestor — perhaps her great-great-grandfather — became one of the first Black doctors in his community and used his status to contribute to the African American community.

A woman with shoulder-length brown hair and glasses is standing in a doorway, holding the glass door open with both hands. She is wearing a patterned dress, a maroon cardigan, and a beaded necklace. She is smiling. The background is slightly blurred, showing an outdoor scene with greenery and reflections in the glass.

“As you can see from this slide …” may not be an uncommon expression used at lecterns to introduce an image.

But in classrooms or online, not every student may be able to see what’s on a screen well enough — or even at all — to learn from it.
