This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Bill Noble hosted a group of 27 young budding scientists and some parent chaperones on a tour of the UW campus that included the Dunham lab. The students learned about cells and compared the smell of growing yeast to the smell of E. coli. After hearing that yeast is used to make bread, they observed that yeast smells like bread. They also learned that yeast eat sugar and that their scientific name, Saccharomyces, means "sugar eating fungus." To explore basic concepts of evolution, the students imagined what would happen if the whole class had just five cookies to eat. The fastest students would get the cookies, just as the "fastest" yeast compete best for the low level of sugar in their culture environment. The students were also impressed with the Dunham lab microscope and looked forward to returning to their classroom where they could use their simple microscope to look at other samples of cells from dirt and water. At the end of the lab tour, the students continued on the the Burke Museum for more activities.

该子项目是利用资源的众多研究子项目之一 由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 并且子项目的主要研究者可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其他 NIH 来源。 子项目可能列出的总成本 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR 赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 比尔·诺布尔 (Bill Noble) 接待了 27 名年轻的崭露头角的科学家和一些家长陪同人员参观了威斯康星大学校园，其中包括邓纳姆实验室。学生们了解了细胞，并将生长的酵母的气味与大肠杆菌的气味进行了比较。在听说酵母可以用来制作面包后，他们观察到酵母闻起来像面包。他们还了解到酵母吃糖，它们的学名“Saccharomyces”，意思是“吃糖的真菌”。为了探索进化的基本概念，学生们想象如果全班只有五块饼干吃会发生什么。最快的学生将获得饼干，就像“最快”的酵母在培养环境中的低糖水平上进行最佳竞争一样。学生们也对邓纳姆实验室显微镜印象深刻，并期待着回到教室，在那里他们可以使用简单的显微镜观察污垢和水中的其他细胞样本。实验室参观结束后，学生们继续前往伯克博物馆进行更多活动。
