First Z-lab PhD graduate to start her own lab! Couldn't be more proud of Rosalie @scienceyrosalie, who has been consistently stellar throughout her PhD and postdoc career and is just getting started. Great discoveries to come out of the Lawrence lab, stay tuned!

Researchers David Shackelford, Roberto Zoncu + Rushika M. Perera are using advanced techniques to track interactions inside cells. Here you can see mitochondria (🟢) + lysosomes (🔴) interact, they impact cell health, behavior & survival.

Doing a PhD and a Post doc teaches you many things, but it doesn't prepare you for biggest challenge professors meet - signing documents with acrobat reader

“There are not, and will never be, KRAS inhibitors” 👀 PascaLab presents a memorable reviewer comment from her 1st unfunded NIH grant at #AACRPan24. The lesson is that you should not let deflating reviewer comments define the value of your science. Also, persistence!
