1. Use the Computers in the Classroom to read the information for each of the links listed below. For each of the professors/labs we are visiting at Wake Forest write a summary for each professor/lab discussing what type of work they do, what organisms they are working with, and how their work relates to information we have discussed in our Biology Curriculum.

2. Choose one of the technical articles listed below and write at least a 1 page summary about the article and what you learned OR watch the Honeybee Lecture and write at least a 1 page summary of the lecture of what you learned. Please note that some of the information in the articles may be difficult to understand. Look up words you are unfamiliar with, and do the best you can to understand the material. You should be able to get a general understanding of the material even if you do not understand all of the technical aspects of the paper. I do not expect you to fully grasp all of the information in the paper.
