Virginia Wang is a rising sophomore from Austin, Texas. She is studying the fascinating neural networks of Caenorhabditis elegans and their role in thermal compensation and homeostasis maintenance in the Goodman Lab this summer. Virginia is enjoying her time at Stanford and will probably declare a biology major next year.

Poster presented at the Stanford Bio-X Interdisciplinary Initiatives Symposium on August 27, 2012:
