Worms and Learning

Acknowledgments

Thank you to my Springboard Thesis instructor, Professor Elizabeth Reis, for mentoring and guiding me through the writing and research process of this project.

I would also like to thank Dr. Chris Li for her continuous support as a mentor and for allowing me to explore my interest in genetics research. I have learned so much more from working with other members of the Li lab than I would have been able to from simply a textbook. Specifically, I would like to acknowledge lab members,

Swera Cheema and Anika Nabila for including me in the touch habituation assays and for helping me to understand these experiments.

Actual photos of the worms are credited to Dr. Chris Li and Dr. Ian Chin-Sang.
