Exploring Biodiversity: Search for New Medicines
Audra is a 6 year graduate student that has been in Bonnie’s lab for 5 years and her research is over Real RVI which is bio menecent(spelling?)ocean bacteria. Real RVI listens to signals around it to say that there are this many bacteria around like it or this many that are different, telling it to turn on light or regulate certain behaviors. Coming from Pittsburg, Pompeani played a lot of sports. In her third or fourth year of college she decided to pursue research and go to graduate school. Loving that in this section nobody knows the right answer and that you can ask any questions, amazes her and gender is not an issue. She wants to change the message to children that women are as smart to men. She wants to go to veterinary school and combine research on bacterial infection with clinical treatment of dogs, cats, and companion animals and the bacteria that pass between humans and pet. Advice for high school students would be to keep your options open, get into a lab if you feel like you want to be in science or research. You never know if you don’t try it.
