Rachael Burson – Biotechnological engineering – Week 1
Aloha, My partner Yash and I have been assigned a phenotyping project. Phenotypes are the physical characteristics of plants. One such characteristic is growth rate. The professors goal is to understand how plants growth rate changes based on environment. This is possible because Hawaii has a large range of climates from one side of the […]

Caroline Lucarelli Week 2: Cartilage Research/Large Animal Surgery
The second week of my internship has been fantastic! Starting Monday, I assisted in the long process of receiving MRI images of a horse’s front feet.
