BITE OF THE IGUANA<br />
When conducting research for the College of<br />
Natural and Health Sciences Undergraduate<br />
Research Symposium that took place<br />
in April, Kaiden Mortimer ’22, a marine<br />
science-biology major, found inspiration<br />
from her pet iguana, Rayne. “It started as a<br />
small project in my microbiology class,” says<br />
Mortimer, who collected several species of<br />
bacteria from Rayne’s mouth to gain a better<br />
understanding of infections that humans can<br />
receive from iguana bites. ut.edu/utjournal<br />
