David Lab Graduate Student Spotlight: Nicole N. Nuñez

8/28/2017

Presenting the David Lab Graduate Student Spotlight, featuring Nicole Nuñez. We discuss with Nicole how she found her way onto the STEM pathway she is currently traveling as she is completing her Ph.D, and Nicole details the powerful motivation behind her passion for investigating the mechanisms of cancer, and how her path helped lead her to the David Lab. Members of the David Lab chime in with what they like about Nicole, and how she has helped them. Additionally, Nicole gives advice for the next generation of graduate students, and as this was an interview about graduate school, the topic of pizza was eventually brought to the forefront. Nicole has been a vital member of the David Lab for some time now, and we are proud to see her moving onward. Enjoy the show!

  • Tanks of the Triassic: New crocodile ancestor identified March 18, 2024
    Dinosaurs get all the glory. But aetosaurs, a heavily armored cousin of modern crocodiles, ruled the world before dinosaurs did. These tanks of the Triassic came in a variety of shapes and sizes before going extinct around 200 million years ago. Today, their fossils are found on every continent except Antarctica and Australia.
  • Backyard insect inspires invisibility devices, next gen tech March 18, 2024
    Leafhoppers, a common backyard insect, secrete and coat themselves in tiny mysterious particles that could provide both the inspiration and the instructions for next-generation technology, according to a new study. In a first, the team precisely replicated the complex geometry of these particles, called brochosomes, and elucidated a better understanding of how they absorb both […]
  • Two artificial intelligences talk to each other March 18, 2024
    Performing a new task based solely on verbal or written instructions, and then describing it to others so that they can reproduce it, is a cornerstone of human communication that still resists artificial intelligence (AI). A team has succeeded in modelling an artificial neural network capable of this cognitive prowess. After learning and performing a […]
  • Holographic message encoded in simple plastic March 18, 2024
    Important data can be stored and concealed quite easily in ordinary plastic using 3D printers and terahertz radiation, scientists show. Holography can be done quite easily: A 3D printer can be used to produce a panel from normal plastic in which a QR code can be stored, for example. The message is read using terahertz […]
  • Breathe, don't vent: Turning down the heat is key to managing anger March 18, 2024
    Venting about a source of anger might feel good in the moment, but it's not effective at reducing the rage, new research suggests. Instead, techniques often used to address stress -- deep breathing, mindfulness, meditation, yoga or even counting to 10 -- have been shown to be more effective at decreasing anger and aggression.
