My name is Heather Hanson-Whatley, but for UAF it’s just Heather Hanson. I’m a senior finishing my biology degree with a minor in psychology. I currently work in the microbiology lab at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital where they have started a Medical Lab Tech trainee program. Microbiology is a prerequisite for the certification program I am applying to for the fall to become a medical lab technician, so I am back this semester just to take this class. I’m excited to learn more about the microbes I am working with on a daily bases. I have 3 kids that keep me busy and am amused at how much the “littles” have enjoyed learning about bugs and the immune system with me. Not sure how many 4 year olds like to watch YouTube videos about dendridic cells and macrophages, but their kindergarten teacher is in for a ride next year. 🙂
