Undergraduate Research

This poster is the culmination of my past few months of research at the Moeller Lab in St. Paul. I will be presenting it this Wednesday (April 13th) at the Undergraduate Research Symposium from 3-4:30 in Coffman Memorial Union.

After you come to see my poster, vote for my photo which is a finalist in the 2011 UMN Study Abroad Photography contest in Heller Hall 230. Voting is open to the public all week (April 11-15).

Pollen Viability

Counted over 20,000 pollen grains of Clarkia xantiana in the past month and a half or so for my study: "Post-mating reproductive isolation and hybrid pollen sterility between two subspecies of Clarkia xantiana". Here are some photos:

The End of Winter

This weekend marks the end of winter (for me).
My bike is clean with working brakes.
My room has been vacuumed and sheets washed.
School has now moved to the back of my mind,
while biking and playing outside has moved to the front.
I am ready for warm breezes, beaches, and leaves.

Here are some photos from the past few months, marking the end of my winter photography.
