I had two sophomores researching the development of antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria due to the use of recycled water. These students placed 2nd in their category at states. Another team project of seniors was creating a genetic database of Hawaiian soft corals in order to create an eDNA test to identify presence of invasive species. This project qualified all the way to the International Science and Engineer Fair competition. In my general classes students collected stream water and ran eDNA testing to identify presence of native o'opu and compared the results to their visual survey.
