Hello,
My name is Joy Miao. I am a student at Wellesley High School in Wellesley, MA.
Research
My research in the Edsinger Lab was on octopus behavior and squid as a model organism. As a part of the Edsinger lab during the summer of 2017, I helped build the tank system for the octopuses, looked after them, helped to build a website for project octocam, and performed in vitro fertilization of squid.
