We had many undergraduate poster presentations at the end of this year. Kristine and Conner both presented their posters at the 2025 OSU Undergraduate Research Symposium at the ConocoPhillips Alumni Center.

She will be putting together a project to follow up with my work characterizing the molecular mechanisms of the SW-type ionocyte in the lamprey gills.

I've got several undergraduates in the lab and I've started teaching a large, upper-level physiology course. There is a lot to do before we start running experiments, generating data, and being awarded funding at the level I am hop
