Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Isai Lopez and Anindita Varshneya for helping me with the technicalities of utilizing the template system. I used Anindita Varshneya's syntax for the journal and assignment link sections. In addition, I used Brandon J. Klein's page for wiki syntax in other sections, and as well as Kam D. Dahlquist's guidance on BIOL368/F16:Week 1 to create my page. I used Anindita Varshneya's page as a reference for working with wiki syntax. I asked my teammember Jordan T. Detamore questions about syntax and required content on our pages. While I worked with the people noted above, this individual journal entry was completed by me and not copied from another source.
