My masters student Omma Honey won third place at the TWU Celebration of Science poster presentations! Attendees voted on their favorite presenters. Iβm proud of Honeyβs ability to convey our work and field in an accessible, enthusiastic way such that her audience took the extra step to vote for her!

This week, the TWU School of the Sciences (SotT) gave me the Heart Award because of the positive feedback students had given the person who picked the winner. I am very grateful for this recognition, and thankful to those who came up to me afterward to tell me it was well deserved.

My favorite part about #Worm25 (aside from all the great science) is getting to meet so many clients for the first time IRL and not in a Zoom window! Thanks @drgtwu.bsky.social for visiting and sending some new folks our way at InVivo Biosystems! πͺ±π§¬
