Our current 5th year graduate students Patrick Leggieri, Kellie Heom, and Stephen Lillington gave inspirational talks at the 15th annual Clorox-Amgen Graduate Student Symposium (GSS). Multiple members of the lab also presented at the GSS poster session. A special congratulation goes to Patrick, whose talk on "Model-driven design of anaerobic consortia for linocellulose valorization" earned him an award for Best Oral Presentation!

Two brand new members have joined our extended lab group! These two bundles of joy were born on April 13th and are doing great! Their names are Mia and Lucas, and they are already in agreement that fungi could be quite important to the future of biotechnology. Smart AND stylish kids! Many congratulations Michelle and Matt!
