Jianhua Lin and Qiao Rong Huang attended the NSF High School Research Program in Genetics at the AMNH for two academic years (2005-2007). Both students learned to conduct measurements and record setal counts under the supervision of Jeremy Huff and Lorenzo Prendini (summer 2006). From fall 2006 they worked in the Molecular Systematics Laboratory extracting, amplifying, and sequencing scorpion DNA. |
Connie Cai and Melanie Ng attended the AMNH High School Science Research Program in Biodiversity at the AMNH for 10 months (September 2004-June 2005). Both students learned to sort, identify and database specimens, prepare labels, conduct measurements, record setal counts, and prepare photographs with visible and UV light, under the supervision of Lorenzo Prendini and Randy Mercurio. Ng also worked in the Molecular Systematics Laboratory, under the supervision of Rebecca Budinoff and Tripp MacDonald, where she learned to isolate, amplify, sequence, and edit DNA.
