We have 2 advisors, Dr. Dave Westenberg and Dr. Katie Shannon. They have been guides on this project, as well as a great place to go for answers on any random questions we came up with that research could not answer. Dr. Westenberg and Dr. Shannon were generous enough to let us borrow some of their supplies and workspace for our experiments.
