I just gave my first research talk ever at Janelia 🤩 I’ve learned so much in the past two days and learned a lot about thinking from different perspectives! Many thanks to Emily and the Stern lab for the hospitality and support 🥰

It’s moments like these 🫶🏽 that remind me why I’m on this path I chose 🤩 watching students gain knowledge and experience and growing into their science 🧬

Taking about Bruno (bru1) Transposons are fascinating Great talk by Lorissa Saiz 👏👏👏

We’ve been having trouble trying to design our allele swapping construct, and the latest issue we’ve had is designing arms that Twist will synthesize! My SURF student Julia was asked at her workshop to make a tweet announcing their results to the world and this is it! 😂😂😂

Thank you to Lorissa Saiz for such a wonderful presentation of her PhD research at lab meeting today!

Thank you so much everyone who came to our Friendsgiving yesterday 🤩 we’re so glad we were able to share food and knowledge with you all, and hope to see you around!
