Mason is the protein modeling expert of the group. He gained interest in modeling after creating a model of the G protein Transducin for the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology conference in Boston in 2013. He is an avid thespian, a gamer, and a metal-head. He spends more time on Reddit than he cares to admit, but not to worry! All of that procrastination is negated by the sheer amount of coffee that he drinks. "All the world's a stage, and all the cells merely players.

Students

Alec Adams
Alec doesn't see science as work: it's fun! His favorite activities include taking long walks on the beach (to test water quaility) and reading a good research paper by the glow of bioluminescent bacteria.
Corinne Andersen
Corinne Andresen decided to explore a long-standing interest in genetics when she joined CAPS in 2012. She participated at the ASMB conference in 2012 and 2013 and spent the summer of 2012 studying E. coli genetics at Missouri Western State University under Dr. Todd Eckdahl. When she’s not doing science or studying to prepare for a career in biomedical engineering, she enjoys running ridiculously long distances and playing a ridiculously large instrument.
Muriel Eaton
Muriel fell in love with science through Science Olympaid. She sees herself as a protein engineer in the future. When not doing science, Muriel is thinking about science.
Dylan Geick
Dylan can culture anything. When not in the lab, Dylan is cruising in his cherry red Mustang to the tennis courts.
Austin Jacobson
If you need creativity and dedication, then Austin is your guy! He designed this wiki.
Amy McClain
Amy McClain is a student at Blue Valley High School and the Center for Advanced Professional Studies. She has always found an interest in learning the molecular aspects of life as well as life at the macro level. Throughout high school, Amy performs on the Blue Valley dance team at band competitions, dance competitions, school assemblies, and spring shows. She also participates in the Blue Valley track and field where she competes in pole vault and sprints. Outside of school activities, Amy continues her dancing through a competitive dance company, and she twirls with another competitive team. She enjoys spending time with friends and being active outside in the sun.
Mason Wilkinson
Mason is the protein modeling expert of the group. He gained interest in modeling after creating a model of the G protein Transducin for the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology conference in Boston in 2013. He is an avid thespian, a gamer, and a metal-head. He spends more time on Reddit than he cares to admit, but not to worry! All of that procrastination is negated by the sheer amount of coffee that he drinks. "All the world's a stage, and all the cells merely players. They have their exits and their entrances,and one protein in its time plays many parts."
