Problem Solver
Joy Sturtevant
I love troubleshooting experiments - I make a habit of understanding the principle behind every step so that if things don't work - can troubleshoot why.
I am sought after for grant seeker meetings since I like to focus down on the question and concentrate on what major points need to be addressed. My colleague and I designed a graduate student course - Molecular Biology of Pathogenic Eukaryotes - and in this we include problem sets - so we focus on training graduate students to solve problems.
