@thompsonlab-lyon.bsky.social with his coffee cup to celebrate his first 1st author paper from the lab. (I stole this idea from someone who posted about it in 2020 or 2021, but I don't remember who. If it was you, please let me know so I can give you credit.)

I'm excited that my first graduate student, @thompsonlab-lyon.bsky.social, is now Dr. Matthew Thompson! He's had a busy week with a first author paper accepted and his dissertation defense. Starting this fall, Dr. Thompson will be an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Lyon College.
