With support from Prof. Lee’s NSF CAREER grant and capital investment from St. Olaf College, Profs. Lee, Demas, and other faculty members in the Neuroscience Program collaborated to create the Neurophysiology Lab (featured in the Fall 2023 St. Olaf Magazine). This is likely one of the most advance undergraduate neurophysiology teaching lab space in the nation!
Jimena, Quang, and Laura presented their first scientific talks at the annual Animal Behavior Society conference in Portland, Oregon. All of their talks were very well received. I’m proud to be working with them!
