Hannah is a student I was honored to have in my lab for 3 years (and who is now at the Allen Institute!). Any gift to support our grad and undergrad student research programs, microscopy facilities, and more would go towards strengthening our future STEM workforce. wwugiveday.wwu.edu/giving-day/9...
