CH102 Cadets Present Research for AY16-2

Cadets in CH102 presented their research on the amounts of sugars in nine leaves eaten by gorillas or red-tail monkeys in Africa. Cadets developed the skills to analyze the sugar content in leaves, and then explored the most effective ways to remove sugar from the leaves. The cadets' work generated a database for Dr. Dawn Riegner and her collaborator, Dr. Jessica Rothman at CUNY, showing how much glucose and fructose was present in each type of leaf. Many thanks to the coaches, TACs, sponsors, DACs, faculty, staff, cadets, and others who came to see the posters and hear cadets present their work.
