| Title | Mini-symposium and Panel: On the Care and Feeding of Undergraduates in Mathematical Biology |
| Organizers | Jason Miller |

| K. Renee Fister | |
| Murray State University | |
| Abstract | This mini-symposium brings educators, mentors, supervisors, and employers of mathematical biologists together to discuss different views on the preparation of undergraduates in the area of mathematical biology. Are there core skills or concepts that all undergraduates should master? What are the most effective methods for training undergraduates to do the required interdisciplinary work? Can a person become a mathematical biologist at the undergraduate level or does the title require graduate training? The mini-symposium will begin with remarks from a panel of people who will convey perspectives from undergraduate trainers, graduate trainers, and industry. It will then devolve into a lively panel discussion that will get more voices into the mix. Panelists will include: Laura K. Potter, Syngenta Jason E. Miller, Truman State University Holly Gaff, Old Dominion University |
