BGSU biology major wins prestigious Goldwater Scholarship
Eavesdropping isn’t the most admirable trait in the human realm, but in a crayfish’s watery world, it may just help the offender
survive.
That’s what Jennifer Chaffin is trying to find out in her research as a biology major at BGSU. And next year, as a senior,
