Levinger contributed to the article “Direct observation of common cryoprotectant permeation into rice callus by CARS microscopy.” This article was about how cryoprotectants work with cells. Cryoprotectants are proteins that help keep cells from freezing when it gets cold. It also discusses cellular response when temperatures begin to drop. {{Cite journal |last=Samuels |first=Fionna M.
