In Xafsa’s freshman year, she was enrolled in Intro to Biotech. In this course, she learned some necessary skills needed in the biotech field. She learned skills like how to handle lab equipment, how to extract DNA from cells, how to streak plates, etc. One main experiment that she worked on was the yeast evolution project, which consisted throughout most of the course. The purpose of this project was to observe and learn about how yeast grows in different environments.
