Alexandra Franks, Research Assistant
Alex is the unofficial "fact checker" for the ChemAlliance website - helping with the never-ending task of making sure that contact information on the site is kept up to date, and proof-reading web pages. Alex is a Senior at Southridge High School and works part time at PNNL through the Cooperative Education Program. While originally planning on going into Computer Sciences in college, Alex discovered that she had peaked in math at precalculus, and is instead going to study developmental psychology. She assures us that working with the personalities at ChemAlliance had absolutely no impact on her decision to go into psychology, but we're not buying it.
