As I posted about recently, lab undergraduate researcher Marisa Hildebrandt attended the Sigma Xi Student Research Conference this past weekend. Not only did she report having a terrific time, but the following news came to my phone on Saturday evening:
She also sent a photo of the swanky medal she gets to wear around town now.
In case you’d like to learn more about her project, here is a pdf of her award-winning poster.
In all seriousness, Marisa is an incredibly hard worker and has been a terrific asset to the lab during her years here. We will sure miss her when she graduates. I couldn’t be prouder of her initiative to attend and present at this conference, and her great success in doing so. Congratulations, Marisa!!
