| The goal of the HHMI Undergraduate
Biological Sciences Education Program at the University of Delaware is
to challenge students to become independent thinkers and creative problem
solvers by stimulating their attitudes of inquiry. This initiative proceeds
on several fronts including the sponsorship of an extensive undergraduate
research program, implementation of investigative
teaching laboratories, the NUCLEUS
Program for underrepresented minorities, mentoring
of peer facilitators in problem-based
learning courses, and promoting a faculty
development seminar program.

| Thinkers
are not limited by what they know, because they can always increase what
they know. Rather they're limited by what puzzles them, because there's
no way to become curious about something that doesn't puzzle you.
