Day 1 started with presentations from our lab director Dr. Eno Louden, graduate students Chelsea Queen & Betel Hernández, and post-baccalaureate RA Maria Torres!
Today I successfully defended my MA thesis, “Predictive Utility of the El Paso Pretrial Risk Assessment Instrument - Revised.” Thank you to everyone that contributed to, and supported this project — especially to @j_enolouden and @mhcjlab. Now on to the PhD!
Congrats to @_chelseaqueen for successfully defending her thesis today! Her study examined the utility of El Paso County’s pre trial risk assessment tool. I’m looking forward to being able to share the results of this important work. Amazing job, Chelsea!

Sometimes, when I’m feeling like my research doesn’t matter, I read my spam emails. In my spam emails, I am “prominent” and “eminent.” My submissions are urgently needed. I am invited to serve as a keynote speaker at conferences in fields like plant ecology and marine biology.
