We do two things in our laboratory: we make discoveries and we make scientists. At the core of this mission are the lab members who are always becoming better scientists and who work tirelessly to discover new knowledge. Everyone in the lab also contributes to our outreach efforts which are focused on sharing the knowledge and excitement of our research as well as increasing scientific literacy in the community.
