STUDENT 1: In my undergraduate
years at OU I had

the opportunity to do research
in the DNA cloning technology

which is actually just on
another small-scale cloning.

things like that so I am a

by a lot of experts on this and

hopefully one day I might get
to, if I get to work for the FBI

this would be something that I
would be very interested to do.

Notice the student references
