Celebrating the Emory Biochemistry Cell & Developmental Biology PhD graduates - such an incredibly impressive group of #WomenInSTEM Emory LGS
Had a great time volunteering with Atlanta Science Festival at our stations: 'UV Bead Bracelets' and 'Design your own DNA' 🧬
I’m excited to share that I successfully defend my thesis work yesterday and am officially a DOCTOR!! 🍾😍
Thank you to everyone who helped me get to this point! I DID IT!!
