<p>I would like to run in college although I know Skidmore does not offer track</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars:
-Participated in the Waksman Student Scholars Program held at Rutgers University. Students did hands on lab research on the proteins located in Duckweed, a plant that has the potential to be a biofuel. Students separated and purified DNA to it's most basic form in laboratories and then analyzed this DNA sequence analysis programs. All findings are new and published in our names. I analyzed 4 clones and of those clones, one protein was not in the database, indicating an unknown protein. These proteings will be further studied with our professor once schools starts in my molecular genetics class.
