The driving force of this inaugural Hawaii team have been the three motivated, dedicated and talented undergraduates: Margaret Ruzicka (PEB 2008), Krystle Salazar (BE 2009) and Grace Kwan (Microbiology 2009), and the trail-blazing MBBE graduate student, Norman Wang. The group has been expertly advised by the three advisors Gernot Presting (MBBE), Sean Callahan (UH-Microbiology), and Loren Gautz (MBBE).

Facts

  • The Hawaii team really likes gummi bears and cookies. Our gummy bear diet can be (and often has been) substituted with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_fish Swedish Fish].
    • At the highest consumption rate, we devoured two pounds of gummy bears during a three hour meeting.
  • When combined, Grace's and Krystle's initials are a palindrome (KSGSK). Norman claims they speak and dress alike to confuse faculty and advisors.
