  1. In addition to our awesome group of UW-Madison undergraduate researchers, we’re also lucky to be hosting two NSF-REU Biological Interactions summer students, Lizette Arroyo and Morgan Banks! They’re each working full-time in the lab on individual research projects focused on conservation genetics/biobanking (Lizette) and maternal-effect genes in early development (Morgan).

  3. Congrats to newly-minted Genetics PhD grad Christina Hansen! She successfully defended her doctoral thesis, “Structured aggregation of germline determinants in Danionin embryonic development” in June and is now continuing her work in the Pelegri lab as a postdoctoral research associate. Dr. Hansen also received the Wisconsin Initiative for Science Literacy (WISL) Award for Communicating PhD Research to the Public – check it out here! http://www.scifun.org/Thesis_Awards/hansen.html
