Boas, Chimps or Tigers: Wild Animals Are Not Pets (Op-Ed)  LiveScience.com

From a boy peering into a garden pond in Ireland to a biology professor wading in the rivers of Vermont, Declan McCabe has always looked deep for answers.

Holding a magnifying glass, the youngest son of Martin and Edna McCabe's six children spent hours staring at the frogs and worms in the garden pond. Living in the semi-rural outskirts of Athlone in central Ireland, Declan McCabe would ask "Who made the trees? Why is the grass green?" Taught to fish by his father, who loved the nearby river, he would spend all day catching fish and then returning them to water.

Part of the mission of Vermont EPSCoR, through its Center for Workforce Development and Diversity (CWDD), is to train upcoming young scholars who are now undergraduate students in scientific fields in which RACC works. Each summer, a group of interns joins the team and pursues a range of projects. As part of that effort, the students, either in teams or individually, and with mentoring from current RACC faculty, postdocs, and graduate students, select, design, and execute their own research projects. These projects are designed around RACC research goals, either directly supporting the work of fulltime RACC researchers or pursuing complementary research questions which would otherwise go unaddressed.
