Patek Lab hosts Army-sponsored research apprentices

The Army Research Office funds STEM apprenticeships for high school students and undergraduates to work in labs that have Army-funded research grants.  This past summer, the Patek Lab hosted Casey Thompson (Jordan High School) and Anna Ruta (Pratt) to work on the impulsive forces and mechanisms of trap-jaw ants.  Thompson said, "I enjoyed every minute, from presenting to answering questions."
