Before I forget… I am now a PhD candidate!

I am lucky to have been selected for the Art in STEM Research gallery exhibit held at Florida State University. It is to be hosted by the Graduate Women in Science (GWIS) organization at Dirac Science Library. I will be presenting a crystal structure of PV2 (Longo PNAS 2013), a reduced alphabet protein I work with in the Blaber lab.

As a fan of both art and science, I feel this is a neat outreach opportunity to showcase my research to the general public by displaying an aesthetic and elegant conformation that a folded beta trefoil protein can adopt.

I am happy to announce that I have decided to join the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program at Florida State University’s College of Medicine!

This past Friday, December 13, 2013 I graduated from The Florida State University with dual degrees: a Bachelors of Science in Biological Science and Chemical Science and a Bachelor of Arts in History!

Very excited for my future endeavors!

Hi everyone, this is my first post!  Be sure to check back here often to get updates on my research project in the Blaber Lab.  I’ll also be posting some of my paintings (à la Jackson Pollock) and other fun stuff, too!
