Program Highlights

Â鶹ŮÀÉ Turtle Relocation Research

This summer Professor Jordan Donini and some of his Â鶹ŮÀÉ student researchers made a positive impact on the SWFL ecosystem by releasing illegally captured turtles back into their natural environment after they were confiscated by FWC during a reptile poaching bust. This is all new research being done by Â鶹ŮÀÉ students that will hopefully lead to new data which will help FWC and other wildlife organizations relocate more illegally captured reptiles in the future.

CRISPR Experiment At Â鶹ŮÀÉ

What is CRISPR? It's cutting-edge technology and it's being used right here at Â鶹ŮÀÉ. Students in Dr. Anzalone's microbiology class were the first Â鶹ŮÀÉ students to use CRISPR to successfully edit the genes of bacteria. This successful experiment is just another example of how Â鶹ŮÀÉ is preparing students for the high-tech world of tomorrow.
