what products the microbes make that may be of biotechnological significance. She was a research mentor for many years in PLU’s Natural Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program (NSSURP) where her research team examined microbial communities in various soils collected from the Pacific Northwest looking for their potential to produce novel antimicrobial compounds. Over time, she moved this research project into the laboratory component of her microbiology course where teams of students work on
