My Honors course as been exploring exponential growth. To do this, we grew some bacteria. We’re doing Biology! A special thanks goes out to Professor Galina Fomovska and John Hunter for helping to set up the lab.

After this lab, we are going to numerically model this data and discuss population growth in other lifeforms, like people!

Our data on a regular plot and a semi-log plot. The beginning looks exponential!
