Congratulations to Abbie Weight @abbieweight.bsky.social who did a great job on her qualifying exam and is officially a PhD candidate! Abbie is using genetically diverse mice to understand the host factors that control susceptibility to La Crosse virus and other neuroinvasive arboviruses.
Brand-new PhD candidate Abbie Weight is standing in lab wearing a yellow sweater and a big well-deserved smile. She is holding an inflatable T-Rex with signs saying "Congratulations Candidate!!!" and "Yay Abbie!". She also is holding a stuffed alpaca wearing a tiny party hat.

We welcomed a new class to the UNC Microbiology & Immunology PhD program, with Abbie Weight @abbieweight.bsky.social and Celeste Robles joining the Lazear Lab. They received gifts from the 3rd year class, donned their new lab coats, and recited their graduate student oath. We're glad you're here!

Last week I presented my rotation research from the @lazearlab.bsky.social and received my white (lab) coat, making me an official member of UNC M&I! Looking forward to learning lots about bunyaviruses while investigating neuroinvasive arbovirus pathogenesis over the next few years
