Well the NIH definitely gave me a lesson in patience, but this summer brought 2 NOAs (R15 and R03)!

Looking forward to working with and learning from the great @lyoun03.

This is a record year for undergrad researchers in my lab. These students are killing it at #SfN2022. Need grad students?! The neuro folks at Memphis (including @SimonNeuroLab and @sable_helen) are helping to prep some great ones. @SfNtweets

[Deranda Lester @DerandaLester]

Coming in hot with 9 posters and very little sleep… but the Lester lab can’t wait to make up for lost SfN time! Bring it @SfNtweets
