Jenelle Wallace is a junior from Tucson, Arizona, who is majoring in biology with a minor in statistics. This summer, in addition to studying the mechanisms of memory in the hippocampus using optogenetics in the Deisseroth lab, she plans to get a scuba diving license, continue her jujitsu training, and learn how to play the bagpipes.

Poster presented at the Stanford Bio-X Interdisciplinary Initiatives Symposium on August 17, 2011:
