OFFICIAL TEAM: Dylan Dawkins, Mingna Li, Emily Lin
After forming our teams, we began emailing potential researchers (a total of 9 to increases our chances). While waiting for replies, we started brainstorming possible interactives for the ones we were most interested in.
We were particularly excited about Dr. Mike Rampino and his studies of volcanoes and mass extinction! We expanded our brainstorming for his research just for fun.
Only a couple hours after reaching out to Dr. Rampino, he replied and said he would be willing to work with us. What luck!
