Very exciting to be a part of their first research experience! Too bad they had to put up with me for a whole 8 weeks… 🤭

That moment you hear the I Will Survive piano intro in the paint section of Home Depot and gasp, but hear another female a few feet away also gasp and you both start singing. Day is made.

I’ve realized that I always stop to watch small robots doing their job like the automated cleaning ones at airports because I want them to feel appreciated for their hard work. Feels like a major breakthrough for me mentally but also the bots don’t have any feelings sooooo….

Congrats to PMI students Snekha, Satvi, and Priscilla!! @uabprecisionmed
