Through out the school year of 2008 and 2009 I participated in a research project that I was hand picked for by my behavioral psychology professor. We spent many hours on months testing gentics of rhesus monkey offspring and their mothers to provide more insight to the concept of nature vs. nurture. After we established some basic principles and had base data, we introduced alcohol into the theory to see if alchoholism could be a factor. After publishing our data in a seminar at BYU, the national institute of health noticed our research, thanks to the help of Dr. Higley, and we were asked to present to the board of the institute. So of we went in September to San Diego were we presented and made good strides in answering new questions and allowing the opportunity for new research to be done.
