Congratulations to Steven for achieving 1st place in the 2024 Harry Nick Award for Research Excellence, announced on March 22, 2024!!!🎉


He's now a rich man!

Our lab attended the 2024 TAGC (Genetics) meeting in D.C. Great job, everyone!!!

Enjoyed a pleasant dinner along with an interview with our potential future lab member.

I had Julia and Steven walk to the sandwich store located between the museums on a rainy day.

Steven was tired and fell asleep while his photo was being taken.

Julia delivered her first presentation on worms, showcasing her diligent work in generating healthspan data.

Julia felt that her pose was awkward. I agree.

Looking forward to the next meeting, where we can present our fascinating science.
