I am a 3rd-year biology student at Daemen, and I am the research student behind this project. I enjoy learning about animal science and hope to work at a zoo or other conservation facility after I graduate. 

He is Daemen's herpetologist and paleontologist, and my research advisor. He has helped me through the research and experimental design process, despite not knowing much about slugs.

She is a developmental biologist and the head of the natural sciences department at Daemen. She has helped with finding a suitable species and with designing an experiment.

He is Daemen's marine biologist and has lots of experience in keeping aquatic organisms alive. He has helped get the tanks up and running and continues to be on standby in case of emergencies.

She is Daemen's freshwater algal biologist and is very knowledgeable about the resources and equipment in the department. She has helped with logistical planning and sample storage techniques.
