It’s a new semester and Rachel is teaching a new class — Stem Cell Biology (CBIO4320/6320)! The first day was great and I’m looking foward to teaching a smaller seminar-style class that is literature based!
Christina - HHMI Gilliam Submission (fingers crossed)
Drinking sipping chocolate at Condor. Yum!
Christina has been hard at work on an application for the HHMI Gilliam Fellowship. She is the first lab member to apply and a great candidate (I know I’m a bit biased). Fingers crossed for her application, but I am also grateful to have spent time working on this application, which asked both of us to reflect and spend time thinking about goals in a holistic way and to contemplate how we can be agents of change at UGA and in the broader scientific community. Cheers to our ideas and plans, which I know we will pursue regardless of the outcome!
NSF CAREER Awardees Symposium
It was a great 2 days of science, encouragement, information, and NSF networking at the NSF CAREER Awardees Symposium, which was hosted by Posey Busby and NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences leadership in Alexandria. I came away with lots of ideas. Big grant writing goals ahead in 2025!
Being a CAREER Awardee has been a huge benefit to me and to the lab and this excellent opportunity was icing on the cake!
Congratulations, Macey!
Congratulations to our newest Ph.D. candidate, Macey. Macey passed her qualifying exams this week and we celebrated with lots of lab decor and ice cream. Way to go!! We are so proud of you!
Cedar St. Building C Dedication Ceremony
Our new building was dedicated this week, and our own Taylor Medlock-Lanier was chosen as one of the student speakers for the dedication ceremony. She did a wonderful job expressing gratitude for our new space and sharing with visitors (including Governor Kemp) what the new research facility means for our lab and for her in particular. So proud of Taylor for her poise and speaking ability. She could have a future career in politics if she wanted to!
