PHOTO DROP from the 2025 CERP GRC!
I feel so excited for what’s to come in our field. I’m intellectually overwhelmed in the best way possible, and I’m so happy I got to connect again with #CER friends and meet so many new people this year. My heart is absolutely full.

Our research group had a busy June, sending these two off into PhD Land! So proud of you, David Hamilton and Jennifer England. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your journey, and for allowing me to grow and learn with you.

Thankful for the overall flexibility of my job - but today wasn’t a flexible schedule haha. Sometimes we gotta run in the lights and brights after a long day of work.
