We are delighted to welcome our first graduate student! Sydney Lee has been working with us as a Research Technician, and aims to complete her PhD in the lab. She has already made remarkable progress on several projects. First, she is using a new thermal preference approach to decipher the relative salience of anxiety vs. pain. Second, she is exploring new approaches to improving repair after spinal cord injury. Welcome, Sydney! Wishing you good research karma on the journey to your PhD.
