helped to develop new methods to build these luminescent molecules in a greener, more efficient manner. I’m confident they are well-prepared to take on new questions in their future paths.” Using a clever aptamer strategy, the ultimate goal was to employ these luminescent markers in labeling and activating RNA molecules.

qualitative and quantitative methods and pairing psychology with marketing, Dixon and Jore presented many significant findings to HDC. Their final presentation and paper emphasized the importance of channel selection when executing specific targeted campaigns, and recommended the best social media sites for different campaigns.
