21st Annual Lewis L. Judd Symposium at UCSD

We are excited to share highlights from this year’s Judd Symposium at UC San Diego. Our lab was proudly represented by several undergraduate researchers, many of whom presented their work for the first time. They did an outstanding job sharing their projects, discussing their science, and representing the lab. We are very proud of their hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm.
Congratulations to all of our presenters:
