Sam Barnett's last days in the lab. Sam assisted with data collection for my Ph.D. project and I advised his Honor's thesis project. Sam examined phenotypic traits of multiple Bd isolates under different temperature conditions. He is a graduate student at Cornell University now.

Gabe Almario and I setting up his Honor's thesis project. I am advising him on his project. Gabe is examining how anti-Bd bacteria perform against multiple Bd isolates under different temperature conditions.
