A HUGE congratulations to Mike Aimino and Alison DePew for rocking their comprehensive exams and becomes the labs first doctoral candidates! Both wrote truly excellent grants and defended their general knowledge and their proposals admirably in front of a faculty panel last Friday. Naturally, we celebrated them immediately afterwards with cake and champagne! This is a huge milestone and we can’t wait to see what wonderful science they do next.
Congrats to Alison and Mike for becoming doctoral candidates!
