UNC SOLAR and unc_sure_summer students had a blast at Frankie's fun park this weekend! @MajorrKey

Our BBSP @ UNC PEERs are creating summer spotlights for each of our unc_sure_summer/UNC-Chapel Hill SOLAR participants. Here are our first two--Patricia Rodríguez from UPR Ponce [Oficial] and Jacob Hiatt from Catawba College. Thanks to the PEERs, including jp flores (he/him)

Yesterday the SOLAR and unc_sure_summer students visited the Ackland Art Museum museum. They did a fun team building activity that brought out lots of creativity and insights into their own science lives. Thanks to Elizabeth at the Ackland museum in Chapel Hill!

This week, SOLAR and SURE students invited their family and friends on zoom to learn about their research. These students not only showed expertise in their field, but excellent communication to non-scientist listeners!

Meet Isa! Another SURE student this summer

And continuing our #traineespotlight here's Claire! She's been crushing it in the Wolfgang lab here at UNC Chapel Hill!

And another #traineespotlight this week for SOLAR is Sarah! She's worked in the Philpot lab for a while, but she's learned all kinds of new techniques this summer!

Here's another unc_sure_summer student in the spotlight--Isa Dimino is a student UNC Charlotte and is working in Craig Cameron's lab with Calvin Yaeger as her bench mentor!

If your email describes you and provides your CV but gives no information about what your interests are or why our lab matches your interests, it doesn't sell yourself well 2/2

If you're on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus and want to see these and other summer students present their work, join us Tuesday in the Stone Center from 9:15-noon 😀

💪🧑‍🎓

A group of our students created a great video for Society for Neuroscience (SfN) on using tissue clearing to study the brain: youtu.be/6UalBtQrgAE. You can vote for their video by giving it a like!
