Our Monkey Health Explorers contributed 1272 classifications yesterday towards the #OneMillionActsofScience for April! 🥳 If we average that much throughout April, we'll have added ~39,432 total! Let's see if we can keep it up! @NaturalSciences @SciStarter @ncscifest

Meet Dr. Bill Studabaker. Bill started volunteering in the lab in 2019 and has more recently taken on the role of a part-time researcher! His background is primarily in chemistry, but he wanted to get experience working with genomic datasets. @NaturalSciences @NRCjulie
