We recognize that many GDB students share information about practicum mentors and opportunities during in-person interactions within GDB courses and in our office. In our Practicum Pods series, current GDB students are interviewed by GDB Peer Advisors in a conversation that delves into their practicum projects! We highly encourage all of our students to tune in to a new Practicum Pod every month to learn about different types of research, mentorship, and project specifics!

Laurel Denyer (she/her/hers) is a fourth-year Global Disease Biology major, with minors in Public Health Sciences and Geographic Studies. Her practicum project, titled "Nutrition Disclosure Completeness of Online Grocery Websites," is an exploratory look into online grocery websites' compliance in disclosing accessible nutrition information. Her mentor is Dr. Jennifer Falbe of the Falbe Lab in the Department of Human Ecology.
