Loves Igem

I'm a second year postdoctoral fellow at UCSF and I work in the lab of Orion Weiner, Ph.D. where we study how cells move in response to external cues. When I heard about the chance to be a buddy for this year's UCSF iGEM team, I was very excited. I really enjoy teaching within the laboratory environment, and iGEM provided a great opportunity to help students learn about the fascinating biological process of chemotaxis. One thing in particular that I found very rewarding is that I had the chance to help students learn how to think critically, a skill that they will use no matter where life takes them.
