We got together safely and virtually to celebrate the end of another productive semester!
We had a long list of accomplishments to celebrate including Kaveh's graduation and acceptance into graduate school, Akshat's graduation and Senior Award, Nirali's first manuscript submission, Soyoung's Neurophotonics Traineeship, and Kerry's first NIH grant! Hoping we get back into the lab together soon!
Congratulations Soyoung for NSF NRS UtB: Neurophotonics acceptance!
Congratulations to our first year PhD student Soyoung Lee for being accepted into the Understanding the Brain: Neurophotonics National Science Foundation Research Traineeship Program! Soyoung will be training in mobile neuroimaging technologies to probe mechanisms underlying pain and abnormal movement in knee osteoarthritis.
