Research assistants Julia and Sophie received funding for this summer through grants from the Sherman Fairchild Foundation’s Interdisciplinary Summer Research and Mentoring in the Sciences Program. As a part of the program, we had weekly meetings with other recipients on campus to learn about their ongoing research. Some of these meetings took the form of examining sheep brains, touring Hampshire’s new living building, the R. W. Kern Center, and even climbing 70 feet up to see bug traps in the Hampshire Woods!
