In 2023, Dennise began training in our lab. Since then, she's interned at the FDA, completed an @NSF REU in Sweden, led our @SACNAS chapter, won a top national @AHAScience scholarship and presented @ABRCMS @theAGU. Early mentorship+funding = powerful science+stronger workforce.

In last Sunday’s newspaper I shared how the fountain of youth is in your telomeres and how having good relationships &support systems keeps them healthy. Thus, there’s are associations between relationships & telomeres which predict general disease risk. https://t.co/QLuUmT6WB4
