Three NSM doctoral students received the Lydia Mendoza Fellowship. The program highlights students who show how they help others in the Latino community through service, training, advising, research, and teaching.

We’ve been having trouble trying to design our allele swapping construct, and the latest issue we’ve had is designing arms that Twist will synthesize! My SURF student Julia was asked at her workshop to make a tweet announcing their results to the world and this is it! 😂😂😂

It’s moments like these 🫶🏽 that remind me why I’m on this path I chose 🤩 watching students gain knowledge and experience and growing into their science 🧬

[Lorissa Saiz @98eagl1]

I just gave my first research talk ever at Janelia 🤩 I’ve learned so much in the past two days and learned a lot about thinking from different perspectives! Many thanks to Emily and the Stern lab for the hospitality and support 🥰
