New year! We are celebrating 6 years as a lab and have lots of fun things going on. To end the summer, David presented at the CURO Fellows Symposium. We also had the annual Cell Biology Retreat and enjoyed good company and good science. Taylor won a Golden Pipette award for her short talk!
As we swing into the new academic year, we have lots of excitement going on:
- Rachel is back to teaching Cell Biology and a GradFIRST course. She is also cooking up some grant applications.
- Tulip just had her paper accepted and she is writing her dissertation to defend her Ph.D. in the coming months!
- Taylor is taking a well-deserved break from teaching after TAing for two semesters at UGA and being the instructor of record for a virtual class this fall.
- Kendall is TAing for Intro Biology, gaining some teaching experience.
- Taylor and Kendall are finishing up revisions on our LDB/SSDP paper and working on their neurogenesis project, putting together data for their screen paper.
- Christina, Macey, and Skylar are starting a new slate of grad courses, scheduling their first committee meetings, and beginning the process of preparing for their qualifying exams. They are busy at the bench, too, with some awesome new results and project trajectories!
- Catherine is returning as the senior undergrad (she is the same year as Pierce and Natalie, but 1 semester more experienced!). She is transitioning to more independence at the bench and is doing great!
- Pierce and Natalie, two new undergrads, are joining us! They are mentored by Macey and Kendall.
