On Friday and Saturday we celebrated the accomplishments and graduation of several undergraduates from the lab. Each of these students spent at least a year in the lab with some spending as many as 3 years of their undergraduate career performing research in my lab. I could not be prouder of how much these students have achieved from ANS minigrants, LaSPACE undergraduate research awards, top honors in oral and poster presentations at local and state meetings, the completion of an honors thesis, admission to medical school. and authorship on peer reviewed manuscripts. I can't wait to see what they all do next!!! Graduates: India Pursell - 3 years in the lab, recipient of LaSPACE LURA, 1st place in several presentations this year, and will be staying in the lab to complete her master's degree Michael Osmun - 3 years in the lab, recipient of ANS minigrants and tremendous support to several projects in the lab. Michael will take a gap year while he applies to medical school Hannah Logan - 2+ years in the lab, completed honors thesis (something only 2% of honors students achieve), and will be attending medical school in the fall Conner Hartupee - 2+ years in the lab, represented Louisiana Tech in Washington DC last week to advocate for undergraduate research funding, and has mentored dozens of students through MCAT test prep. Conner will be teaching for a year before attending medical school Conner Bennett - 1+ year in the lab, selected to represent Louisiana Tech at the University of Louisiana Academic Summit, and will continue to work part time in the lab next year while applying for medical school Jacob Cambre - 1+ year in the lab, ANS minigrant, and Notch group rap song. Jacob will be teaching English abroad while applying to medical school. |
