It's a wrap on another @NSF REU summer cohort!

4 stellar students made some amazing strides over the past 8w–thanks to their awesome mentors @BrianahMccoy @Layla__B @Kelsi_inSTEM–and gave some killer final presentations today.

Sad to see them go, but excited for what's next!

Congratulations to @MarinaWatowich on her successful PhD defense! What an amazing 1st PhD to come out of the lab–she set a very high bar with her thesis on extreme environmental effects on the aging immune system.

We’re all very excited to see the science you cook up next!

[Bri McCoy @BrianahMccoy]

The most wonderful, talented, kind, and intelligent human is defending her PhD tomorrow and I HIGHLY recommend attending! 🍾🎉
