Shark Sha, The most important member of the team!

Connor is our team leader and has led us to complete and improve our project. His fascination towards experiments drives him to design and conduct the key Aptamer experiment, and helps with others. Besides, he participates in human practice and has contributed a lot to all aspects. But I think he likes Shark Sha much more than the experiments (he naps with him every day(whispers)). Nevertheless, he has contributed a lot to our project.
