| Abstract | The goal of our REBMI program is to prepare undergraduate students to work on interdisciplinary teams that tackle “translational”, real-life challenges at the crux of biology and mathematics. By creating “unstructured, open-ended” environments within active research laboratories, we leverage the strong and uncommonly open-mindedness of liberal arts students while at the same time exposing them to “real world” research experiences. In our presentation we review the successes and failures of our program and how our experiences are re-shaping the ways we think about preparing biologists and mathematicians to work together. |
