It is in times like this that you really appreciate how connected and collaborative science really is. I wouldn’t be able to conduct the research that I am without the help of my advisors, but also without the previous research and investigation of so many scientists whose published data I am gathering to answer this question. In order for me to conduct my research and complete an Honors Thesis I need the work and input of many, many scientists who came before me and all of those who helped and mentored them. We are all connected and current research and discoveries wouldn’t be possible without all of the work put in by those who came before us.
