Acknowledgments
FSI is a major undertaking. Without the help of many people, I would never have been able to succeed and learn so much in such a short period of time. My mentor Dr. Patrick Burns was invaluable in teaching me about the research he has been performing for years. His two graduate students Ms. Michele Plewes and Mr. Peter Graham were instrumental in teaching me the basics of my experiment and guiding me in the right direction. This experiment would not have been possible without their help and support.
Thank you to my advisor Amy Dunn for all her help in editing my paper and her continual encouragement.
Lori Ball and her staff were incredible in organizing all the events and classroom learning that FSI participants experienced throughout the six week period. A big thank you must be given to them for all their hard work and dedication.
Without the sponsorship of the Adolph Coors Foundation, I would never been able to attend FSI. The support and sponsorship given by them is greatly appreciated. Thank you also to the Bacon Family Foundation for sponsoring my research. I have learned so much in this program and cannot express how grateful I am to both these foundations for making this event possible for me to attend.
Finally, I would like to thank my family for supporting all my goals and encouraging me to apply for this program and succeed.
