Kate and Vanessa travelled to the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) annual meeting in Philadelphia PA to present their research in April! They went with one other Vassar student, accompanied by Prof. Colin Aitken. Proud of my @Vassar students Kate and Vanessa who presented their research today at @ASBMB! #undergraduate #research #biochemistry Read more about Kate and Vanessa present at ASBMB conference[…]
