We welcome new people to the lab. Fayth Tan is a graduate student in biology who will bring worms and insects to the lab. She is not the only one in the covert operation of turning the lab into a zoo. Aki Ohdera joins the lab as a postdoc, and he is already making regular trips to the beach and bringing back a variety of marine creatures. We also welcome Anish Sarma, a graduate student in CNS, officially in John Doyle’s lab. Anish is exploring design and trade-off in biological systems.
