Hey, congratulations! :D That's great, even if the money's not much, it's always cool to win something based on merits.

What are you studying?

Man, what am I NOT studying! I have several projects.
1) Effects of transgenic chestnut on native plant populations
2) Using native plants for green roof design
3) Using phytotechnology for restoration of a toxic waste site.
4) Chemical mutagenesis protocol for conifer pollen

I would like to know what you find out about that. My only attempt at doing it resulted in a weeded over mess that got infested with fire ants. :wail:
