resistance happen? Or tumor growth? “It really helps with critical thinking,” said Deane after a day in the lab. “And this work with Dr. Saxowsky called to me. I knew I’d be interested in it. This (research) looked at how something so small could affect the human body … this is a fascinating experience to do groundbreaking work like this.” One recent August morning, Deane and her partners, Pannapat Angkanaworakul and Jessika Iverson, carefully counted yeast cultures that had started days earlier in agar
