Caitlyn’s last lab lunch + Jarrod’s first paper + Mr. Gusterson steals the show! @caitlynanix.bsky.social

Undergraduate Research Symposium, Spring 2025! #msstate

I am so very proud for my student Michael Fernandez for presenting his first poster at the Southern Gerontological Society conference!

My students secretly nominated me for a mentorship award and I won! (They also found a “Dozier for Mayor” hat at an estate sale!) Best Lab Ever. @caitlynanix.bsky.social @msstate.bsky.social

We had our end of semester lab brunch yesterday and it resulted in two great team photos and one amazing blooper. @caitlynanix.bsky.social

I figure GSA is a good time to make my first Blue Sky post! Our symposium this morning was a full success - 14 folks in an 8am audience and a wonderful discussion about what it means to age in place for rural older adults. @caitlynanix.bsky.social
