The semester ends, the summer begins

Posted on May 6 by

The research group ended the semester very strong with excellent Distinction presentations by Keith and Aimee and a great last group meeting. I’d like to thank everyone for their hard work this semester. I’m looking forward to the new group and new leaders helping to take charge of the lab this summer (Katerina and Jack!). I’m excited for Keith and Aimee as they start their new and exciting work at Tufts and at the CDC. Thanks for making this group and our research great! ~Dr. Gerdon...
