“My freshman year, I participated in the Science Research Initiative (uofu_sri). Being part of that program gave me a supportive environment where I gained foundational research skills and learned more about the research process. I worked on a project about the microbe interactions between Utah’s native bees and the plants they visit. This helped me develop my interest in smaller-scale microbial interactions that reflect the larger ecology.” #HumansOfTheU 🐝 Tomorrow, senior Allie Perkins will be participating in the annual Research on the Hill Day at the Utah State Capitol.
