This research project involved the growth of pollen tubes of the Solanaceae Family conducted in Colorado for 4 months. I presented an introduction to my project, a powerpoint presentation, an oral presentation, and writing a manuscript similar to what was done in Arizona. I participate in a weekly field trip with the REU group. Some of the field trips were to project sites to increase our awareness of the types of positions that are available with a biology degree.

My REU mentors were Paul Covey and Dr. Subbaiah Chalivendra. The committee mentor was Dr. Patricia Bedinger.
