Proud to watch Shevon Alexandar defend her dissertation this past week. What an awesome part of the job to watch young scientists grow and apply their potential. She marks the 5th PhD student to graduate from the Burton Lab. She's moving on to a postdoc at @tulaneu.bsky.social @utdallas.bsky.social
