Really cool to see the first big research project I worked on be published and written about today! A great team of scientists put together a fascinating story - give it a read!

My lab and friends do such cool science!

My first time dipping my toes into science communication! I thought it would be fun to write about a group I’ve been very involved in over the last couple years in grad school and share how it’s growing. Give it a read!

Had a wonderful time chatting about science, dogs, and synchronized swimming with Berkeley Lab’s Suzanne Baker! I wrote just a snippet of our conversation for QB3-Berkeley ahead of her Professional in Residence talk. qb3.berkeley.edu/news/professio…

My first preprint of my PhD!
