May 2nd, 2019 – We had our first Shadow A Scientist visit on April 26th 2019!
Katie, a senior from Carrboro High School shadowed Juanita Limas in Jean Cook’s lab and Nisitha Sengottuvel in Chad Pecot’s lab. She observed cell culture experiments, learned about the life of a researcher, and toured the medical school! She also ate lunch with four graduate students, Tim Daugird, Katie Acken, Keean Braceros, and Ennessa Curry. Additionally, she attended the genetics and molecular biology seminar by Dr. Ting Wang entitled “Transposable elements and epigenome evolution” to get exposed to the different ways science is shared with others!
Thank you so much to our ambassadors for hosting Katie and eating lunch with her!
