Summer is off to a great start here in the Mesce Lab, as we welcome two new members of the lab family (and welcome back a familiar face)! Making their lab debut are undergraduate students Camille (Cami) Brod and Maria Godinez. Cami and Maria are both rising juniors enrolled in the neuroscience major, and will be developing projects to complement our ongoing studies into the mechanisms of recovery following nerve cord injury in the medicinal leech. We are looking forward to working with them this summer (and beyond)!
In several weeks, we will also welcome back Dr. Michael Baltzley from Western Oregon University, who is once again joining us as a visiting scholar this summer. Mike had previously visited the lab in Summer 2016, and will be continuing to work on the projects he started in the lab then. We are thrilled to have him back in the lab, and hope that this will become a summer tradition!
Welcome, welcome, everyone!
