I got to do a fun thing. I was nominated for an Ascending Star award through the Senior Vice Chancellor’s office. I gave my lecture on November 1st.
This allowed (nay, forced) me to look back at everything the lab has done over the past 10+ years. It was really fun to put together - all of the people who have come through the lab are who made this happen. I am forever thankful for them. And for the support of my family, without it none of this would happen. My family was able to attend, which was very special for me.
