Instructor of Life Sciences Jamie Beavers is growing sweet pea plants, Gregor Mendel’s model organism, in her Biology 110.
“We lost some of them to rats. We are raising them higher so we don’t lose more. These are safe up here. If we can have more of these trays that keep the plants up high, we’d be great. We had them on the ground until recently, because until there’s leaves, the rats don’t care about eating them.”
