Welcome to the lab, Megan! ❄️🌨️☃️ is how we welcome newcomers!
Last month, I left NM to start my postdoctoral training at the University of Vermont. Slowly getting adjusted, but good memories are already being made (incl. my pets learning about squirrels). So excited to be here and have already learned so much in the @Harraz_Lab!

Inspiring..
“My parents could barely read or write. It’s been quite a journey, science allows you to do it.” New laureate Omar Yaghi was in the middle of changing flights when we reached him, just after he heard that he had been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry. In this interview we speak about his early life as a refugee in Jordan and the overwhelming draw of the beauty of chemistry: “I set out to build beautiful things and solve intellectual problems.” Listen now:

Now: @OsamaHarraz - graduate of our Center for- giving a Ted Talk at @UVMLarnerMed Research Rally! We need to look at the traffic in the brain, not just the structure! We need to learn how to give the brain lifelines back to restore orderly traffic! An exceptional communicator!

Wholeheartedly agree! The way your mentors (both direct and indirect) do science, is how you will do science. Choose those mentors wisely!
A huge part of research taste is inherited from mentors
