My name is Madeline and I'm currently a PhD student in microbiology! I love teaching and making concepts "click." I've worked in biology labs for many years so have great experience to make concepts applicable to the real world. Science should be fun and rewarding, and I do my best to make it so!

This has really given me insight as to how to study -- how to study a large volume of information in a short time frame, how to retain that information, and how different people learn that information.
