Rounding off AY25-26 with many highlights including 3 Lee Lab graduates, a terrific undergrad research CURE class, and my MS student winning a Best Poster award at a conference! Also got to serve on a career panel with a Nobelist who was supportive and encouraging of our student-powered research. 🙏
Excited to see how this gets set implemented and all the great research opportunities it might bring to our students and faculty!
