our team

Welcome to the Daphnia Dads!  We are a group of three 11th-grade biotechnology students enrolled in Experimental Design at Rock Canyon High School.  We are all extremely passionate about science, biotechnology, and finding solutions to existing global problems, so we believe this class combines our interests perfectly.  This website follows the track of our research over the course of this school year.  Our work would also not be possible without the assistance of our mentors, Dr. Marco Giovannini and Mr. Phillip Richards; our instructors, Susanne Petri and Shawndra Fordham; and our peer advisor, Sara Black.
