Congratulations to Erin Tessier, Christina Mong, and Maya Matsumoto for graduating this year! Through a full year of virtual learning, these three students all completed a BS in Cellular and Molecular Biology, with Maya also completing minors in German and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).

Erin will be taking a gap year and looking for work in biotech or research before pursuing graduate school. Christina is currently studying to become a Dental Assistant in the future. Maya is selling science stickers and art on her Etsy @MWMLetters (check out her Instagram, too) and will be transitioning to Robin Kodner’s lab at Western to perform research with the Living Snow Project next year.

And to all Lee Lab members who have graduated previously, we congratulate you as well, especially those who finished their time with the lab at the beginning of the pandemic last year! Thank you to all students for the incredible work you do!
