  • Role
    Scientist Mentor: I will mentor teams of students online

  • Research Interests (300 words)
    I study Queen Anne's lace, or wild carrot, genetics. I use this species to study mitochondrial dynamics within the plant and from generation to generation

  • Profile Question 1
    What is best about being a scientist?

  • Answer the question you selected for profile question 1 here (300 words):
    Science is great in that you can ask questions and then design ways to answer those questions. The best part of being a scientist is when a series of questions is answered and you get to tell a cool story about what you learned.

  • Profile Question 2
    When and why did you decide to go into a science career?

  • Answer the question you selected for profile question 2 here (300 words):
    I began school as a nursing student, but when I took Human Anatomy and Physiology I realized that I loved biology, rather than taking care of people. By becoming a scientist, I continue to learn cool things.

  • Profile Question 3
    Can you describe your attitude toward science when you were in high school?

  • Answer the question you selected for profile question 3 here (300 words):
    I loved science in high school. I took Biology II as a senior elective because I loved it so much. That class was cool because half of it was Zoology and half was Botany. I learned some really great things in that class, and my teacher was pretty amazing too!

Hi Water Lilies -

It looks like your experiment went well! I'm happy to see that you received some nice results.

Hi Group!

Those sound like interesting investigations. I like your question about how salinity affects the rate of photosynthesis. You say you think that higher salinity will be detrimental - how so? That goes back to how/why your leaf disks…
