The amount and importance of research being conducted at the University of Northern Colorado is often overlooked.
Among the major universities in Colorado, UNC is sometimes looked down upon as a school for students who weren't accepted to any other institution. This could be because of the school's high acceptance rate at 92 percent.
Despite this, UNC members are conducting a wide variety of research in topics that affect a worldwide audience. For example, Stephen Mackessy recently received nationwide news coverage over his ongoing work with snake venom that could potentially be used to cure cancer.
The purpose of this blog is to continue to detail the accounts of these individuals looking to better the community and the world with their findings through research at UNC.
Though I have never written a blog before, I look forward to the opportunity and the chance to learn new mediums of journalism and better my writing. With a blog, I have the ability to reach a much larger audience than at a newspaper, but it may see a smaller readership as it competes with popular blogs on an internet already cluttered with information.
