| Discovery Notes | Collected outside Barco Building in light brown (softball diamond) colored dirt next to a big maple tree. |
| Naming Notes | My family originates from Punjab, and so the name I chose, Zameen, is Punjabi for "earth" or "land." I chose this name because the soil sample came, literally, from the Earth. I also chose this name because it has a special personal significance to me - I am the first women in my family to pursue medicine and science research professionally. I wanted to chose a name that sounded pretty - (Phonetically it is ZUH - MEAN) but also showed how proud I am of my heritage and the opportunities I have today. |
