The Journal carries a distinct set of academic values, which reflect an idealized desire to search for truth, to evaluate the benefits of research for humanity, and to advance learning and mutual discussion on important trends in scientific and humanistic disciplines. The Caltech Undergraduate Research Journal premiered Monday, April 9, online and in full-color print at MIT, Caltech, UCLA, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Reviews on consciousness and tissue engineering, articles about undergraduate research in computer vision, genetics, protein engineering and other fields, and a closing artistic view on science are featured in the premiere issue. CURJ's engaging writing style and stunning production design set new standards for undergraduate publication. The semiannual journal was founded in 2000 and is produced by a talented staff of undergraduates at Caltech and the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena.
Submissions are open to any undergraduate.
