Isabella Bowland, a rising high school senior at Boulder’s Fairview High School, did an outstanding job representing the Schmidt and Suding Labs at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in May. Last year, Isabella took a class called the Science Research Seminar, in which students go through the scientific process and find science mentors to work with throughout the year. Isabella worked in the Schmidt Lab with Cliff Bueno de Mesquita on the Moving Uphill project, doing staining and microscopy of alpine plant roots collected across a high-elevation landscape. After being awarded best in plant sciences at the regional science fair in Boulder, Isabella advanced to the main ISEF event in Los Angeles, where she continued to display a thorough understanding of alpine plant-fungal interactions, and was awarded best in plant sciences. Congratulations Isabella! We are proud!
