Very proud of our 2 summer researchers, who worked in the lab between 1st and 2nd yr of med school. Great job at the symposium today, Michaela and Tom, and thank you for your hard work! Also thanks to Nisha and Jumana for volunteering to judge presentations 😎 #ProudPI

This is Ayla, named after my favorite book character (The Clan of the Cave Bear). She swims every day, no matter what. It's 57 degrees now, and the pool is frigid, but she just swam. Fitting, because Ayla in the book was famous for her daily swims, even breaking ice to get in #samandayla

In addition to science and gardening, I post about #samandayla and Ginger (no final # yet!) Front yard Paw Patrol reporting for duty, ready to alert about squirrels and falling leaves 🩷

First post. I'm working on a new strategy for setting and meeting goals. One personal goal is to read more books. To this end, I organized one of my bookshelves. Do you see one of your favorites? Stacks on the counter and what to put in the middle are in progress, but feeling centered now 😊
