This fantastic work, which highlights the utility of combining single cell imaging with ‘omics, was led by undergrads Kasey & Arnav, in collaboration with @doctorbou.bsky.social @tarateslaa.bsky.social. Special thanks to Alexia, Declan, Teagan, and Eddy for their help with ‘omics!

This work is led by Katie, with her partner in PINK1 Alexia, with help from Michael, Anna, and Ethan. Congrats everyone!

Then, we had a CV workshop to review the differences between a CV and resume, and critiqued some CVs. Then, it was time for cake to celebrate 3 years of the Schmitt Lab! We had a great day spending some time reflecting on our goals and learning some new skills and eating berry Chantilly cake.

Following lunch, we then had a workshop on how to use Illustrator, which is super helpful for all the manuscripts in preparation!

Then, we had a goal-setting workshop. This year, everyone was given the prompt, "What are your goals for the next year? How do you want to achieve these goals? Using graphics, pictures, words, etc to create your vision board." Everyone created vision boards and then shared their goals.

You should check out Owl Bar if you get a chance!! It’s right around the corner from Brewer’s Art (I lived a block from Brewers Art in grad school). Owl Bar is an old speakeasy!
