This summer, we were fortunate to have two undergraduate students spend 10 weeks working full-time in the Ploss Lab! Besides being a great help with ongoing projects, this spunky duo taught us about the latest YouTube trends and became a part of summer Ploss Lab lunch excursions. Their summer program concluded this week, and they presented their work at the SURP MOL/QCB Poster Session on Thursday, August 8^th.
