Winter 2020

With big snowflakes falling we wanted to take a moment and acknowledge Emily Simonton who rotated with us in the second round. Emily is a Columbus local, receiving her undergraduate degree from Capital University just down the road. They spent their rotation working mainly with Audra Crouch on eukaryome extraction optimization but also explored some new work with SARS-CoV-2 positive patient samples. Thanks for rotating with us!
