    I worked in Luisa's lab as an undergraduate, and it was one of the most fulfilling parts of my education at Northwestern. It was a truly special experience to work at the Shedd Aquarium & Field Museum, and to design and analyze cutting-edge environmental research. Good luck Philip & Emily – your research is so important!

    Homer's friend, Phillip Osborn is doing a research on the bleaching of coral . He attends Northwestern. I am sharing with you so you can see what he is doing and support his project if you like it. Thanks a lot!

    Good luck on this campaign, Philip and Emily! I worked in Luisa's lab as an undergraduate and it was a true highlight of my time at NU. I learned a lot setting up an HPLC protocol and using the backscattering techniques to measure skeletal structures. It's important work, so keep at it!

    This sounds great! Phil-Jillian is very interested in taking part if you have room for one more master diver! Just keep up in the loop if there is an opportunity!
