The Minnesota Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation
I am going to be a Junior next year at Macalester and I really enjoy it but times seems to be flying. I am from Minnesota and live a couple blocks from the State Fair Grounds. The reason I am a Chemistry Major is because I like working in the lab and I am very glad I get to do research this summer and would like to thank my advisor Becky Hoye for getting me started in research at Macalester as well as Joan Toohey for providing me with these opportunities. I also don’t really like talking about myself, there are many other interesting things to be talked about.
I am working with Lisa Peterson and I am synthesizing compounds used for her research on furan and how it is metabolized.
