Students will be involved in diverse projects, including hospital microbial surface sampling, environmental DNA-Barcoding, analyzing monkey fecal diversity and eradication methods of Pseudomonas from faucets. Each student will gain valuable experience using the Scientific Method and produce a publication-quality paper.
Through a competitive application process, the following students have been selected: EBS4 = Bernadette Schmidt and Victoria Gonzalez; EBS3 = Katie Plemmons and Genevieve Aube; EBS2 = Wined Ramirez-Lopez and Laura Mena-Albors; EBS1 = Tasia Bradley and Samah Halbouni.
