Congratulations to all the Stony Brook Biology and Biochemistry majors who graduated today. Especially the first three ever Nelson Lab graduates - Abijot, Tomasz, and Zarah! Abijot and Tomasz were the first two people to join the lab!
Ice cream and a sunset made for a pretty enjoyable end to the week.
After a long time finding reviewers, my paper on the evolution of R2 retrotransposons is out! This project was in collaboration with my amazing co-authors Bri and Anthony from the Collins lab. 🐢🐦⬛
Big thanks to my team, especially my supervisor Dave Adelson! #TEsky
