Professor of Biology April Hill in her Carnegie Science Lab, Room 404, training two "new scientists." 鈥淔or me, it鈥檚 like being a coach," she says. Names forthcoming. The two students in the lab with Hill are Sara King 鈥�21 of Newton Center, Mass., and Jasmine Nutakki 鈥�21 of Augusta, Maine. Hill says: 鈥淭hey were learning to use a technique called the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify genes from freshwater sponges. Both students (and some others) will be working over short term on a project funded by my NSF grant to study the gene networks involved in animal:algal symbioses. In this case, the animals are sponges and the algae are Chlorella.鈥澛�
