Background: I will graduate from the University of
Wisconsin-Madison in May of this year (2007) with a B.S.
Current Research: Our goal is to find a drug that can be
used to provide analgesia without depressing respiratory
function in turtles. My project involves looking at the
effects of opioid agonist drugs on respiratory motor output
produced by isolated adult turtle brainstems under in vitro
conditions.
