 Students from the HSB program were invited ( and paid) to work with Ryan at Sonoma State in a Biotechnology lab to trouble shoot a lab protocol that Ryan created for students to test the GMO content of foods. They made their own solutions ( using their great Chemistry skills), prepared and run gels such as the one seen below and then like most scientists...had to go through the troubleshooting problems when they did not get anticipated results.
