This project would not be possible without all the support and assistance I have received. Though it was difficult and took many months to create a research project, I am so grateful for all the people I have met along the way. Dr. Ellestad and Dr. Diner played essential roles in me completing this research. From discussing sampling techniques with Dr. Diner to spending a few hours in the lab with Dr. Ellestad, I have learned so much from the both of them. They gave me a true insight on what science is and can entail.
