Successful ILS recruitment season

We have had a busy fall and are entering the homestretch of our last ILS rotation. We have been joined by 5 talented Ph.D. students, all of whom have been really wonderful visitors to the lab. We’re excited that two students, Christina Endara and Skylar Settles, have decided to join the lab for their Ph.D. work. We’re really excited that we get to work with you in the coming years, Christina and Skylar!

Taylor and Kendall did a fantastic job training our rotation students and mentoring these students in their first semester of graduate school. I am always proud of how our research community welcomes others and provides a rich, rigorous, and supportive training environment for new students. It has been fun to get to work with each rotation student this year. We’re eager to get Skylar and Christina integrated in the lab in early 2023 and to get them matched up with some exciting projects. More exciting science coming soon!

Fun at the CBIO Retreat

We had a super fun time at the Cellular Biology departmental retreat, the first one we have had since before the pandemic. We heard lots of great talks, including one by our own Tulip Chandra. Taylor Medlock-Lanier presented a poster on her collaborative work with Kendall Clay. Taylor won BOTH best poster pitch and best poster awards at the retreat, so congratulations to Taylor. We also enjoyed games, conversation with colleagues, and excellent company, particularly after the isolation of the past two years. We look forward to a year of more interactions and engagement on campus and beyond!

Congratulations to Taylor!
