Anna Boggs, Thompson Zhuang, and Austin McKee were involved in a research day at the Ag lab in Peoria. They were there with a group of other high schools students who were also interested in scientific research. All of the groups, around 8 total with 4 in each group, went to 3 different labs were they learned to conduct different experiments. Some experiments included Protein and enzyme assays, working with the pheromones of a beetle, and creating bio-diesel from soybean oil. Through this experience they also learned about some of the technology that is being used at the research lab.
