Jan 14, 2025 - We kicked butt at ASCB!
The Starbird Lab attends ASCB! Skylar, Nicole, Johnna, and Camila presented their work, in addition to Dr. Starbird presenting research at two sessions, sitting on two panels, and completing activities associated with her role on the MAC Committee. We were also fortune enough to have our undergraduates tag along. What an awesome experience for our lab. A big round of applause to all of you for being such killer scientists 👏
