STAHELIN LAB CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS! Stahelin Lab had a festive week exchanging Secret Santa Gifts, watching a classic Christmas film over lunch and taking a tour at the McCord Candies learning about how this local Lafayette company has been making candy canes since the early 1900s! Thank you, Rob for treating us!

PODCAST SPOTLIGHT GRADUATE STUDENT, CAROLINE PLESCIA.
Fifth year graduate student, Caroline Plescia, sat down with Dr. Larissa Thackray for an episode of "Let's Meet the Virologists" to highlight the work Caroline will be presenting at the American Society for Virology Conference this summer! You can listen to it clicking here! We are so proud and excited to see what Caroline does next! |
TWO STAHELIN LAB GRADUATE STUDENTS BECOME PHD CANDIDATES.
Second year graduate students Bali Motsa and Roopashi Saxena worked so hard this semester on writing and defending their original proposals this semester. They both passed and we are all so excited to see what they accomplish next! Congratulations, Bali and Roopashi!
