Howdy, I’m Allison and I’m a first-gen undergrad researcher at UIUC in Plant Biotechnology. My current research interests are mostly in applied plant-microbe interactions, synthetic bio, and the genetics behind that. I’m looking for Research Tech jobs right now, and grad programs for the future :)

Howdy Blue World! Looking forward to tending to the social endeavor that is the scientific pursuit here. :)
