Starting the new school year

Going into the new school year, the lab continues to grow!

Two PhD students from Neuroscience, Marco Peña Garcia and Trinity Pruitt, joined the lab over the summer. Marco is studying fly foraging decisions and Trinity is studying state-dependent modulation of taste processing.

Our three awesome undergraduate students returned to the lab, with Crystal and Maia now being seniors (!!) and Lam starting her junior year. We also have two new undergrads: Anna Perry is a Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology major and Sydney Walker is a Quantitative Sciences major doing a computational project.

Of course, our research specialists Fio and Ruby continue to make sure everything runs smoothly and move our projects forward!
