My labmate @addieschlachter was one of three phenomenal student speakers at today’s inaugural @UNC_Biology Flash Talk event. Such a great turnout! What an awesome opportunity to build community within the department - and to learn about some incredible science too! #WomenInSTEM

Be curious. Pay attention. You may not be able to impress with knowledge and experience but you can impress with enthusiasm and attention. Mentors are paying attention to this.

Most important: discover or confirm your passions for science.

Two awesome poster presentations from two of our undergraduates! Melisa presented at the Biology 395 Poster Symposium and Kendra presented at the Celebration of Undergraduate Research. Kudos to both wonderful students!

[Dowen Lab @RobDowenLab]

Congratulations to our senior undergraduate @SarahTorzone on winning the Brantley Award for excellence in research in molecular, cell, and developmental biology for her senior honors thesis! We are so proud of her spectacular scientific work and her outstanding presentation.

[Dowen Lab @RobDowenLab]

@SarahTorzone gave an amazing senior honors thesis presentation last week. We are all so proud of her!

[Dowen Lab @RobDowenLab]

We and our fellow labs had a great time at the UNC Science Expo this weekend sharing our science with the community! We had microscopes available for folks to learn about the use of model organisms and fluorescence in science. Even Ramses came to learn about "glowing worms"!

[Dowen Lab @RobDowenLab]

Some fun this month in the lab - celebrating Laura's birthday with a tea time and dinner with some visiting Dowen lab alumni, @MartinNewman0_o and @kkanakanui9!
