Casey Nichols, RaMP Participant
Working with Dr. Juan Osorno, Plant Sciences, & Dr. Barney Geddes, Microbiology
What are you working on right now?
I’m currently focused on designing a plant experiment to investigate the genotype by genotype interactions between dry bean cultivars and rhizobia. This project will shed light on how these specific genetic pairings influence plant development and their symbiotic relationships.
What is your favorite part of this experience?
My favorite aspect of this experience is the hands-on learning, both in the lab and in the field. I’m exposed to a variety of techniques and methods that are new to me, allowing me to expand my skills and apply what I’ve learned in real world situations.
What do you enjoy most about Fargo?
What I enjoy most about Fargo is it has the charm of a close-knit town without feeling cut off or secluded from the rest of the world.
