• To Hunt: Thank you for helping me find items across the science department so my students could have experiential lab activities after a long period of home and Zoom learning. You always do it with a smile on your face and offer your assistance and thoughtful input. Thank you!

• To Julia Bui: For being so patient and understanding with me :)
