Joe Larkin Receives 2021 MIRA
Dr. Joe Larkin received the 2021 Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) to understand how multicellular behaviors emerge in bacterial colonies. His lab investigates how single-cell-level gene regulation of bacterium Bacillus subtilis and the physics of the local environment conspire to create cell-to-cell signaling networks and patterns of cell types that allow colonies to divide labor. […]
Maia Archer Recipient of 2021 Health Humanities Undergraduate Summer Fellowship
Maia Archer, an undergraduate Neurobiology student, was selected as the recipient of a Health Humanities Undergraduate Summer Fellowship. For this internship, Maia explored the cross-disciplinary approach to health, healthcare, and medicine, took different perspectives (cultural, historical, social, etc.), and investigated how language could be used to improve the relationship between health and our society. In […]
