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.
Welcome Cameron and Alison!
We are so glad to be joined by Cameron Seitz and Alison Garland for rotation 2, through the ILS!
Happy New (Academic) Year!
It’s a new academic year at UGA, after a busy end of summer. I’ll be teaching a new crew of Cell Biology (CBIO3400) students and beginning my first year as an associate professor, after my promotion this month (woohoo!). We are welcoming back 5 Ph.D. students, welcoming ILS rotation students, and welcoming back 6 undergraduate researchers, so it’ll be a full house! We are also settling into our new space in Cedar St. C nicely and I have rushed to get my office looking nice and cozy for a new group of students! Come visit us on the 4th floor sometime soon!
