My Interview Subjects

     Starting off this project with a gung-ho attitude and no time at all to complete it. The beginning of this project is based heavily off of interviews that I will be conducting with people within my field of study.

After Years of Study...
      Anna Dornhaus has many years of Education under her belt, She received her Masters in Science in Biology in 1999 at the University of Würzburg, and also got her PhD there in 2002.
      Alan Nighorn also got a large amount of higher education first getting his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1986. And then late in 1993 got his PhD in Cell biology from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

And Ages Working...

       Both interviewees have been in the field professionally for a long while, Dr. Dornhaus has been in professional work in her field since 1999. And Alan Nighorn has been at work professionally since 1987.
