Sam's Summer Research Project
Donation protected
Hi Friends & Family,
I'm raising money so I can attend the Waksman Institute's summer research program in genetics and bioinformatics. Two dozen students are selected for this highly regarded opportunity at Rutgers each year.
This summer's research project focuses on the DNA sequence analysis of genes from the duckweed plant Landoltia punctata, and how these genes compare to those found in other species. Duckweed, a fresh-water aquatic plant, is of interest to the scientific community because of its use in bioremediation, and its potential use as a biofuel.
Thank you for considering a donation. Genetic research is something I am passionate about and hope to pursue as a career either as a doctor, a scientist, or both!
I am grateful you stopped by my GoFundMe page.
Many blessings,
Samantha Petersen
