I am in Dr.
Miquel
Gonzalez-Meler's Lab; the Stable Isotope Group. I use stable isotope analysis of carbon
and nitrogen in animal tissues of museum collections. I'm also a fellow representing the SKIT Program. While positively adding to a Chicago Public School's 7th grade classroom I gain a better understanding of how teachers engage young students in hands-on classroom implementation of science. I also mentor for Women in Science and Engineering. |

What's a stable isotope? These USGS pages are a good place to start; Resources on Isotopes: Fundamentals of Stable Isotope Geochemistry and Stable Isotopes: Providing the Answers to Tough Questions |
