the microbial communities that live in the tree canopies of local Pacific Northwest forests. Soils collect in the small nooks high above the ground, and she’s conducting genetic analysis of the microbes that live in those soils. She, too, works closely with student researchers on the project – she finds essential the work they do as part of a team. At the same time, she also knows that her work entails more than simply conducting research or teaching classes. “In the lab, as I see it, I have two

Then, they moved into design analysis. Then, they figured out how to scale back their plans for something more manageable. It is part of the process, Hauser notes – nothing wrong with that. Part of any design process is discovering what is manageable and what isn’t – and then figuring out what can actually be created. “Even the

His working there had nothing to do with me getting the internship, but it was a funny coincidence, and he knew enough about the work to know that it would be a good fit for me. So I made that one of my applications, and that just happened to be the one I got an interview for, and I’m thankful that
