    Research Methods Course: Student Spotlight

    I have always liked science, but my love for it blossomed in my 9th-grade biology class. In this class, we started doing hands-on experiments and diving into how things work, which is what I love about science. When I came to HRA in 10th grade, I was in Dr. Gendreau’s chemistry class and WISE, where she learned about my love for science, specifically plants.

    I’ve been interested in aquatic and marine biology for as long as I can remember, so I was pretty excited when I found out about eDNA (environmental-DNA) and the possibility to detect species in a body of water with only water samples. The purpose of my project was to compare an older method of sampling for species using commercial trawl nets to the newer eDNA method.

    I started expressing an interest in science while in middle school and continued to explore it throughout high school. It quickly became my favorite class and something that I wanted to learn more about. I loved how I was able to learn through hands-on experiments and that there was still so much to explore within the science community.
