Erin Dolan, outreach director for the Fralin Life Science Institute at Virginia Tech, examines Arabidopsis thaliana, a model plant for many research projects. High school students participating in the Partnership for Research and Education in Plants create controlled environments to observe responses of genetically altered versions of the plant to help university scientists determine the role of specific genes.
