CURO Symposium
Our undergrad team presented their work at the CURO (Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities) Symposium at UGA. Kathleen and Ella presented their work in talks.

Developmental Biology Spring Symposium
On April 10, we were happy to join our Developmental Biology colleagues for our Spring Symposium. Several lab members presented their research in talks and posters. We got some great feedback and loved being in community with our people!

Christina to DC for the CASE workshop!
Christina traveled to DC to take part in the Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering Workshop hosted by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She was selected to represent UGA. There, she learned to talk to people about her research and to advocate for aspects of science and engineering she is passionate about. She met with staffers and representatives on both sides of the aisle and she learned a lot!
Thank you AAAS for supporting Christina and thank you Christina for supporting science!
Congratulations Skylar and Alex!
Our fantastic scholar Skylar wed her other half, Alex last weekend. I had to be in the mountains to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, so I had to miss this one (heartbroken, though the anniversary party was great, too!). We love the bonus of getting these fancy photos of our grad scholar team (plus this time with an alum, Taylor)!
