“Water is an essential source to sustain life; it has a history of not only physical and chemical conditions but also of the planktonic microorganisms that reside in it. By learning more about microscopic life in water, we will better understand fluctuations in aquatic microbial life.” Check out this profile on Sade Davenport, a fellow with the IC Postdoc Program. Sade is using her degrees in biology, computer science, and engineering to conduct research at a computational system biology research laboratory.
