Wow!! This is incredibly impressive, Kristin @KristinOsika! Congratulations!! Stay @PennChemistry and work for me!!🙂.
Congrats to @PennSAS senior @KristinOsika for her poster presentation in @PennChemistry! Her first-author PNAS paper & 2 more first-author follow-up studies are summarized. Kristin is applying to grad schools now– her research accomplishments already rival those of a PhD student!

God smiled on State College on Sunday, gracing us with such a beautiful day for graduation. The occasion was bittersweet for me as I hooded my last Penn State Ph.D. student, Cody Lloyd 😪. Cody is one of my many outstanding students during my 26 years here. @BMB_PSU @PSUScience
