• This month, we celebrate the college graduations of two of our lab members! Maryam Enteshari has earned her bachelor’s in business, and Luis Muniz has earned his bachelor’s in electrical engineering.
• We also welcome two new lab members, undergraduates Noemi Torres-Zazueta and Nadia Jett. They are already working hard on our NSF project work, our rhizobox project, and more, and we are very happy to have them.
• The construction of the outdoor research garden for our NSF-funded project  is very much in the works! We have been hard at work prepping the space and materials, and in June we will begin moving our seedlings from the greenhouse to the outdoor garden space.
