I will be publishing on this project this coming winter semester. I spent this last summer as an intern researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany. There I did bot greenhouse and laboratory work that will be published in two papers concerning wild tobacco and its interactions with its insect herbivores. I am currently interviewing at several quality graduate programs for a position as a student seeking my PhD in their genetics, genomics and molecular biology programs. I have played the piano since I was 8 years old and took 8 years of lessons including lessons from Prof Ralph Vanderbeek who at the time taught at Utah State University.
