Brian Goldspiel (Brian Goldspiel, PhD) in the Will Bailis lab defends his thesis tomorrow!

The best start to a week: Brian Goldspiel, PhD’s phenomenal thesis defense today. For the last 5 years, it’s been a true joy getting to know the brilliant, multi-talented person Brian is. His infectious passion has transformed the lab and he’ll be deeply missed. Could not be prouder🥲

A huge thank you to Brian’s partner in crime Mikel Haggadone, PhD and the world’s best collaborator Dr. Sunny Shin on this work, along with the rest of his committee: Sarah Henrickson, Mark Goulian, & Ed Behrens

Trump terminated $1.8B in science funding in 40 days. A loss of ~$4.6B in future economic activity. Means a higher fraction of new discoveries will be overseas. We'll be buying our future drugs from other countries...and, oh - they'll have tariffs on them. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
