Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores through non-graduating seniors, must be attending a four-year university in the US

Sonnenberg ’14, counting 30,000 seeds so minuscule that 5,000 can fit on a thumbnail. It took days. Dahms asked himself, “What did I get myself into?” As a biology major who has an interest in molecular biology and hopes to go to medical school, he never thought he’d be studying plants as part of a student-faculty research project. “I really didn’t care for plants all that much,” he said. “But I came in with an open mind of what I can do and what I can learn, and really had one of the best summers of my

microorganisms, minuscule life forms, wield a vital influence over our planet’s climate. They manage crucial components like carbon and oxygen within the vast oceans and the atmosphere.Over the summer, Professor Angie Boysen and her dedicated team, Lydia Flaspohler ’25, a biology major, and Ryan Fisher ’24, a biology major and environmental studies minor, embarked on a mission to unravel the secrets of these microorganisms. Professor Boysen, Flaspohler and Fisher aimed to understand the compounds these
