ROADTRIP (FALL 2017)
​
Utilizing fall break, team members Desiree Reding, Joey Murdock and I traveled down to the Mayo Clinic to tour their histology lab and had a very productive meeting with our collaborators!

LETS GET CRACKIN (FALL 2017)
​
The tissue engineering team bought 4 dozens of eggs to test their egg cracking skill for the project and then used the eggs to make pancakes for our students.
Doing experiment a lot of times is like following the recipe in making pancakes. This team made some mean pancakes, I'm hoping that's somewhat of a predictor of their research skills?

INSPIRE (SUMMER 2016)

I am so fortunate to have known and worked with many inspiring women in STEM! All my collaborators early on were strong women in STEM that I modeled after: Dr. Yuiwhei Chen-Yang, Dr.Vivian Feng, Dr. Linda Hasadsri & Dr. Jane Wang.
