Skylar joined our research group as part of the undergraduate UNC S.U.R.E. program
We’re really good at research but very bad at taking a group photo with sun in our eyes. Brian also likes to forget to take down his poster at meetings (too busy networking).
Jacob Hiatt is apart of the UNC SURE program and joined our lab this summer!
The award that Ashelyn received honors the memory of Dr. D. Gordon Sharp, a former Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at UNC. During his career, Dr. Sharp was widely recognized for his innovation, his curiosity and the breadth of his thinking. He was a pioneer in both electron microscopy and high-speed centrifugation that he used to elucidate the nature of viruses. He was generous with his time and trained many graduate students, letting them discover the joy of discovery. The awards committee selects among nominees who have exhibited exceptional creativity, perseverance, ability to see and ask big picture questions, and the independent drive to seek out (or develop) the best technologies/models to answer these questions. In addition to an emphasis on innovation and scholarship, the nominees have a commitment to sharing knowledge and mentoring.
