My name is Kelsey Miller, and I am currently a sophomore at the
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. I grew up in Hubertus,
Wisconsin with my family and dog and attended Hartford Union
High School where I was very active in the choral and theater
programs. My passions have changed, however, since
admission to UW-L where I have always been encouraged to do my
absolute best and never be afraid to ask for help. I have
chosen to double major in Biomedical Sciences and Spanish while on the Pre-Physician’s Assistant career path.
I have a passion for biology and anatomy, and spend a few hours
a week tutoring students in introductory biology. I completed
the
Habitat and
Interactions pages for this website.
When I am not studying, I enjoy the company of friends and
family. My favorite holiday, by far, is Thanksgiving because
it’s solely focused on reuniting with family, eating food, and
watching football (I am a die-hard Packers fan!). I am also
somewhat married to my Kindle and will always find time to
squeeze in a good book between exams and homework; I am
currently reading Steinbeck’s East of Eden. When I am with my
friends, I am usually doing something embarrassing, but in times
of tough exams and ceaseless projects that is just the therapy I
need.
My
name is Aislynn Wagner. I am 20 years old and a sophomore at
the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. I was born in West
Allis, Wisconsin but my family moved out to the country when I was
six years old.
I attended Kettle Moraine High School and
babysat for many families throughout my middle school and high
school careers. At a very young age I developed an obsession
with animals, and this obsession has only gotten stronger as I have
gotten older. I do not have a major picked out yet, but my
dream job would be some sort of an animal trainer/caretaker at a zoo
or aquarium. I am considering majoring in biology because it
is one of my favorite subjects, along with psychology and algebra.
In my free time I enjoy reading, running, watching movies, playing
video games and doing anything involving animals (especially my
cat.) I am a bit of a perfectionist (okay, maybe more than a
bit) so I tend to get very stressed when it comes to school work.
But, as my parents say, as long as the information is interesting
and I am absorbing it, a little bit of stress is worth it!
When I grow up, I plan on living with many animals because animals
are my greatest passion in life. Yes, someday, I will most
likely become a crazy cat lady.
For this website, I completed the Form and Function and the
Life History and Reproduction pages. I enjoyed exploring all
of the information available (about our species) and learned a lot
in the process. I hope that you find our website useful and
interesting!
Thank you for
visiting our page! This website was created for our Organismal
Biology class under the instruction of Dr. Barrett Klein and Dr.
Anita Baines. The theme for our class this semester was
“Decomposers”, but not just any decomposers; we were challenged to
find decomposers that would be useful in forensic entomology (the
study of insects to determine time of death of a corpse).
Therefore, we chose the common pill bug to learn more about its
interesting, armadillo-like appearance and everything else that
makes it unique as an organism. This website was completed in
December 2013. To view more informational
pages on decomposers, visit
multipleorganisms.net. If you have any questions for us, feel
