Since the establishment of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1995, we have included two graduation project courses in our curriculum. These are still in place. However, last year, one of our bright undergraduate students informed us that prominent European universities prioritize graduate education applicants who have successfully completed a graduation thesis. This was the impetus for us to act. In consultation with Ezhan Kara\u015fan, we initiated a first\u2014not only for Bilkent, but also for our country\u2014by matching our undergraduates with our experienced faculty members to pursue what we can describe as a maiden voyage into scientific inquiry and process.<\/p>\n
This has proven to be fruitful. It was both fun and rewarding for us, the advisors, to interact with the fresh, inquisitive, and sharp minds of our undergraduates.<\/p>\n
Now, they will take center stage.<\/p>\n
