I joined the Neuer lab in Spring 2009. I am an undergraduate seeking a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Art History. My current project focuses on enumerating the ciliate population at the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series (BATS) Station in an effort to better understand the plankton community. In the lab I utilize the Utermohl method and an inverted microscope to vizualize the ciliates. Through this research, I hope to investigate changes in the structure of the plankton community of the Sargasso Sea over time.
I am also involved in efforts to use quantitative PCR to investigate the picoplankton community at the BATS Station, and have completed a project that involved determining growth curves for the common plankton cultures growing in the lab. In the future, I plan to attend graduate school and continue studying oceanography.
