2015 The Zeller Summer Scholarship in Medicinal Botany
Liam Torrey is an undergraduate student at College of the Atlantic, Bar Harbor, Maine, who is focusing on plant ecology and plant chemistry. He is especially interested in how plants express chemicals and whether this expression is impacted by the ecology of where these plants grow. His research project entitled, “Do Differences in Environment Yield Changes in Phytochemical Expression in Melissa officinalis?” will explore the variations in the plant chemistry of lemon balm when it is grown under a number of environmental variables.
