I am an undergrad at the Patel Lab working with Ryan Null in the butterfly project. It was difficult to examine scale growth for the organism at around 48-72 hours after pupation because our culture media for the wings was not that good. I was tasked with figuring out an appropriate media from our baseline, and in doing so, be able to keep the wings happy and simulate normal scale growth in the 48 to 72 hour period. It is still a work in progress!
Personal Stuff: I like to read and watch TV. I am a big sports fan for every sport except baseball and hockey. I love basketball and like to play it. I also really like dogs and have been hatching a plan to seduce Caspian to join me in the DARK SIDE!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
