Ryoichi 'Morgan' Sono started in the lab in 2019 as an undergraduate researcher. Joined as a graduate student during the pandemic in 2021. Defended his Ph.D. thesis recently. Will be in the job market soon. A team person to his core, and an astute, and inventive mind... Here's to you, Morgan!

Double pride! Morgan Sono (my right) and Andie Venegas (my left) after their PhD commencement ceremony yesterday. Morgan and Andie worked together on a major project in the lab and hooding them one after the other was the joy of my life. So proud!

Latest publication from our lab! The project started during the pandemic! Was led by –the fabulous– Karen Cornejo (graduating in 2025). Also, awesome contributions from all authors, specially, Andie Venegas and @dykhuizenlab.bsky.social. This one is special! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
