Lab Technicians for next school year

I have recruited some Microbiology Lab Technicians for next school year from my Microbiology students. They will be helping me in the lab as their Senior Portfolio placement. I will be able to show them how to do all the things I do to get ready for my labs, but I also want them to embark on some sort of research project of their own. I hope they will do research that enables them to participate in the Southern Appalachian Science and Engineering Fair at UT in March/April of 2011. Ryan and Penny will be working with me during the Fall Semester and Jordan and Jun will be my lab techs during Spring Semester. I am very excited to have their help.
