Booth, a psychology major, is working with Garrett on a survey that questioned genetics professors across the nation about their incorporation of science ethics into the class curriculum. Enlisting help from Assistant Professor of Psychology Julie Dunsmore, Booth designed the survey around Garrett's specifications. Booth was happy to be a part of the survey commenting that while science was not her area of interest, Garrett had given her a wonderful opportunity to go through the process of surveying.
Ransom, Chan and DiGiovanni are working with Garrett on an eight-week program designed to increase basic genetic knowledge about nitrogen rich media. The three students had been enrolled in Garrett's class Genes and Genomes the previous term, and had all expressed to her their interest in researching over the summer. Ransom feels she has learned a lot about the field this summer, but is equally excited by the relationships she has made with her fellow researchers.
