<TD ><B>Tiffany Chao</B><br>Tiffany Chao is a 12th grader that just graduated from Blue Valley West High School. She also has attended CAPS for four semester where she learned about biology and iGem. Tiffany is also called "Chao Chao" because she has many other friends named Tiffany. Altough she is learning about science research and is on the iGem Team, Tiffany will be going to Johnson County Community College for her undergrad and the University of Kansas to study pharmaceutical. <br><br><br></TD>

<TD ><B>Austin Chick</B> <br>Austin Chick, a.k.a. Masta' Mix, has a strong passion for the world of biology. He spends the majority of his time in the lab whether it be learning the next big experiment or messing around with the 3D printer. In the short time when he is not in the lab, he spends his time stacking pears at Hy-Vee, playing video games, and watching romance movies with his girlfriend. The Masta' Mix is truly one of a kind.<br><br><br><br></TD>

<TD ><B> Chloe Ortbals </B><br> Chloe Ortbals or better known as McFlow. From her Western blotting skills and to her mastery of her pipetting skils she has it all on lock down. In her free time she hangs with friends, listens to music, works at AMC and goes running on long and tiring distances. She loves animals (her favorite is a yellowlab mutt) and takes an interest in research of the cancer type. Chloe is the McFlowy.  <br><br><br></TD>

<TD ><B> Amy McClain  </B><br> Amy is a student at Blue Valley High School and the Center for Advanced Professional Studies. She always enjoyed her math and science classes as a little kid. Doing hands-on activities interested her and is the reason she loves science experiments. She wants to pursue this passion when she gets older on a broader and more important scale. This will be Amy's second visit back to Boston this year and hopes to have another unforgettable experience! <br></TD>

<TD ><B> Nithin Saripalli</B><br> My name is Nithin Saripalli. I go to Blue Valley Southwest and I am a sophomore. I am a tech enthusiast and enjoy working with technology when I am not doing science and homework. I love science because I like to know how the world around me works. I like biology because it is the study of life and it opens up a lot of opportunities. I am interested in iGEM because I like working with science. I like biotechnology and iGEM allows me to participate in Biotechnology. I would like to be in a career in Biotechnology. I do not know what college or exact career I will be in, but I still have time to decide. <br><br><br></TD>

<TD ><B> Aiswariya Ramaswamy </B><br> Hello! My name is Aiswariya Ramaswamy. I go to Blue Valley Northwest, and I will be a junior this fall. I enjoy dancing, tennis, track and field. I participate in many clubs including KAY Club and Science Olympiad. My interest in life science began at a young age, and I especially like learning about biology. When I heard about iGEM, I was really excited to join and learn more about biofuels. In the future, I would like to do something in the medical field.

<br>Alexis Vance </B><br> This woman of many words is a sophomore at Blue Valley High (the Originals). This is what she has to say for herself:

I hope IGEM will help me gain important lab experience and make important contacts in the Bio engineering world.

<TD><B> Lousie Yang  </B><br> Louise Yang will be a senior at Blue Valley North High school, however her friends call her Weezer. She is an avid Netflix user and fiction book reader when she has free time. She's still trying to figure out her future plans for college and her major, but she knows that it includes science. Possible paths are either neuroscience or biochemistry. She had a great time participating in a protein modeling project, and is excited to learn all about biofuels during iGEM. <br> <br></TD>

<TD style="height: 384px"><B> Eric Kessler  </B><br> Mr. Kessler’s interest in biology can be traced to his youth on his family’s annual canoe trips where he was obsessed with catching turtles. He has earned three undergraduate degrees, in Education from UMKC, and Psychology and Zoology from the University of Texas. These studies were followed by a Masters in Biology from Emporia State University where he completed research on the retreat-site selection of woodland snakes. He began his foray into things molecular through participating in the Age of the Genome Woodrow Wilson Fellowship 2002 and has attended all three high school iGEM competitions. He enjoys photography and spending time outdoors with his family. <br><br><br><br><br> </TD>

<TD style="height: 384px" ><B> Joseph Whalen  </B><br> Mr. Whalen began his adult life in biology as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. His interest in the outdoors led him to complete an undergraduate degree in Environmental Science from the University of Kansas. From there he worked as a liaison between research and high school education as a GK-12 Fellow, and then completed three years teaching science at Blue Valley High School. Before returning to CAPS he completed his Masters in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Oregon State University, where he studied genome defense mechanisms in the fungus, <i>Fusarium graminearum</i>. Outside of school, Mr. Whalen enjoys rock climbing, and traveling with his wife and friends. <br><br></TD>
