Recent lab alum Taylor Medlock Lanier was just selected for a 2026 Excellence in Research by Graduate Students Award from the UGA Graduate School. This is a huge honor, only received by 5-6 graduate students at UGA across all disciplines each year. We are so proud of you, Taylor!
Congratulations Dr. Medlock Lanier!
A fun grid of pictures from Taylor’s Defense (10/31) and Graduation this month! We had such a fun time celebrating her many accomplishments, contributions, and victories as a Ph.D. student at UGA. It’s hard to let students leave (for me at least) but it will be so fun to watch what you do next, Taylor! :)
Woohoo Undergrad Research Team!
We had really fantastic end-of-semester presentations by our undergrad researchers, Zoe, Kathleen, and Ella. Grateful to Taylor, Skylar, and Christina for their excellent mentorship and support of these exceptional junior members of our team. Can’t wait to see what they do next with their projects!
Congrats to our ARCS scholars!
Skylar and Christina were celebrated at the ARCS Foundation reception. So proud of their being named as ARCS scholars and also grateful to the ARCS foundation for supporting such exceptional and awesome people!
SDB in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Saraí and I enjoyed going to the SDB meeting in Puerto Rico; it was great to have a local host and she presented a poster on her research in the lab. San Juan was amazing!
