On Sunday, I graduated Cum Laude with Honors from Davidson College with a BS in Neuroscience! Many people helped me reach this point, but I especially want to thank my parents and Dr. Barbara Lom for their constant support. Next stop: Dr. Maria Lehtinen’s lab @BostonChildrens

Excited to share that I’m a Fulbright semi-finalist! Infinite thanks to everyone who has helped me in this process (writing rec letters, reading my statements, just chatting/answering q’s about Taiwan) - I couldn’t be more grateful. Hope to share more good news as I hear it!.

After over a thousand knots (I lost count) and a hundred one piece eps, I present the finished retina embroidery! The colorings of the knots were inspired by my research! Feedback and future suggestions welcome!
