7/28/23 Emily Tomak defended her Master's thesis just a day after 7/27/23 when Teresa Easterbrooks defended her Master's thesis!!! So proud of these two students, who gave excellent oral presentations, carefully crafted written reports, and showed that they knew their stuff. Wishing them both the very very best as the move forward. Kudos to Lauren to setting up a lively celebration for Teresa, to Teresa for setting up an exuberant reception for Emily, and to the whole lab for coming out for a wonderful dinner together once everything was all wrapped up.

5/10/23 I call a wrap on grades for another semester of Bio450. *wipes sweat from brow* Phew- another 20 capstone projects in the bag.

5/6/23 Four years ago I started my lab, and within a month Sadie Waterman joined our team. Today, she is graduating. Congratulations to Sadie on her very successful graduation. And thank you for your outstanding work in the lab, from receiving and inventorying supplies in 2019 all the way through a phenomenal honors-scale capstone project that merged independent research on Mylpf with histology in the Bio450 course for a beautiful and unique final product.

4/27/23 The lab rings in the end of the semester with a gathering at the Orono Brewing Company. An absolute blast to cap off an excellent term.
