🥳 Congrats to my grad student Majd Hamaly for crushing her first ever department seminar today! I always get SO nervous at student talks...I want it to go well for them! But this time my pulse was almost normal before the 1/2 way mark. She aced it! 🤩 Markey Cancer Center Trainees

So glad that @CarolineN_Smith stopped by on her last weekend in KY for a Friday Fun with the lab! 🥰 I'll miss her around here so much, The V Foundation for Cancer Research truly hit the jackpot by bringing her on board.

R01 due in a week 😱 So of course I spent the morning making badge reels for our new undergrads and daydreaming about an etsy shop to fund the lab 😅 #Productivity

🥳 Exciting news! My amazing undergrad Angelica Rivera-Martinez was awarded a Pediatric Oncology Training Program grant! Huge thanks to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for their generous support of both her and her research in our lab! UK Research Markey Cancer Center Trainees

🎉🎉🎉 Big congrats to my awesome grad student Majd Hamaly, who sailed through her PhD qualifying exam today! I really admire (and am grateful for!) the hard work she puts into making it all look so easy. Excited to see what the next 2 years will bring! 🤗 Markey Cancer Center Trainees

Very excited and proud to see our past lab member Anna Cox speak about her unique journey as cancer patient, then researcher, and now med student at Markey's ceremony for gaining NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center status! She even gave our #zebrafish a shout-out! 🤗

Had a great time at #ZDM16 this week! Especially because I got to relax while Majd Hamaly did all the hard work repping our lab with her poster and awesome talk 🤩

Had an amazing time at the The V Foundation for Cancer Research V Summit! Lots of exciting research from new V Scholars, serving on the mentoring panel was fun, and workshops were so helpful! Best part: catching up with @CarolineN_Smith, Director at the V Foundation (but still my lab superstar 🤗)

📣 My awesome grad student, Trace Jolly, will be presenting at the #ZDMS Cancer RIG on June 5! Hear all about his research using zebrafish to define how a #phosphatase causes cancer, and three other exciting talks! 🐟 🐟🐟 Register below! Markey Cancer Center Trainees UK Research

Summer officially starts when our new undergrads arrive! Looking forward to working with these smiling faces for the next two months! 🤗 Maddie Wieringa from KYINBRE is on 🟦☁️, Sam Kirchhoff from Markey Cancer Center Trainees and Maddie Gill from Georgetown College. Lots of exciting projects starting up!
