Congratulations to our newest Ph.D. candidate, Macey. Macey passed her qualifying exams this week and we celebrated with lots of lab decor and ice cream. Way to go!! We are so proud of you!
Cedar St. Building C Dedication Ceremony
Our new building was dedicated this week, and our own Taylor Medlock-Lanier was chosen as one of the student speakers for the dedication ceremony. She did a wonderful job expressing gratitude for our new space and sharing with visitors (including Governor Kemp) what the new research facility means for our lab and for her in particular. So proud of Taylor for her poise and speaking ability. She could have a future career in politics if she wanted to!
EMBO Regeneration!
Kendall and I traveled to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat on the Côte d’Azur in France (near Nice) for the EMBO Regeneration meeting. We learned a lot and came back with lots of helpful feedback and ideas. We both presented our work in posters, too. It was great to reconnect with some of our favorite Regeneration Biology colleagues and to meet new folks as well!
Congratulations to Christina!
Congratulations to Christina, who was named a 2024 ARCS scholar! We are so proud of your hard work on this proposal and your dedication to science communication! Yay for you!
Lab made it through Helene!
Thanks to those of you who emailed to check on us! Helene came through Athens and while we had to cancel class and close campus, our town and university emerged relatively unscathed. We had some power outages, downed trees, and lots of rain, but we’re ok! We are grateful for UGA student meteorologists who provided really excellent information and safety advice!
We send thoughts of support and encouragement to our neighbors throughout the southeast who will have a long journey to repairing and recovering from this terrible storm.
