The unPak Project

UNPAK is a collaboration between researchers and students at the College of Charleston, Barnard College, Hampden-Sydney College, and the University of Georgia.

Happy first day of the Fall semester at CofC! Exciting news - we have a brand new experiment underway. Arabidopsis germination is always an interesting process to watch, and these plants are now just 7 days old. Stay tuned for updates on our progress! #CofC #Arabidopsis

We are getting excited to welcome our next group of unPAK REEU student researchers!

As we are ending our first week of the the unPAK USDA REEU we are beginning to see some seedlings! Grow little ones, grow!

We have a great group of student researchers working with us this summer for the unPAK USDA REEU. On Monday each of them set up their home experiment! These are pictures of just a few of them.
