Best Wishes to David Lab researchers Taylor, Jazmin, and Beili!


8/11/2017

As summer continues to roll on, and summer REU’s are approaching their completion, we have to say goodbye to our summer REU researchers Jazmin and Beili, and to recently graduated David Lab researchers like Taylor who are moving on to graduate school.

Taylor McCart, who recently graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, is moving on to seek her M.S. in Biochemistry at California State University, Northridge. Taylor worked with graduate student mentor Brittany Anderson-Steele, and spent a total of two years conducting research in the David Lab. We will miss Taylor here at the David Lab, but we are proud she is moving forward to graduate school, and we know she is ready to succeed at the next level.

Taylor, Brittany, and Sheila say goodbye. Good luck at CSUN, Taylor!

 

Taylor marks her permanent spot in the David Lab.

 

Jazmin Stenson spent the summer as an undergraduate researcher in the David Lab working with postdoctoral researcher Alan Raetz via the Chemistry and Chemical Biology Graduate Admissions Pathways Program (CCBGAP) from Xavier University of Louisiana. Jazmin is completing her B.S. in Biochemistry at Xavier University of Louisiana next year.

Jazmin says goodbye to Alan and Sheila as she gets ready to finish her degree at Xavier.

 

Jazmin leaves her fingerprint on the David Lab wall.

 

 

Beili Huang participated in summer research at the David Lab via the ACS Project SEED Program. Beili worked with graduate student mentor Kori Lay, and is starting on her B.S. in Chemical Engineering at UC Davis this fall.

Beili is ready to start her Chemical Engineering degree at UC Davis as she leaves her fingerprint in the David Lab with her summer research graduate student mentor Kori.

 

Good luck Taylor, Jazmin, and Beili! Thank you for your hard work in the David Lab!

  • Earliest days of Earth's formation March 26, 2025
    New research sheds light on the earliest days of the earth's formation and potentially calls into question some earlier assumptions in planetary science about the early years of rocky planets. Establishing a direct link between the Earth's interior dynamics occurring within the first 100 million years of its history and its present-day structure, the work […]
  • A cleaner future for tires: Scientists pioneer chemical process to repurpose rubber waste March 26, 2025
    Every year, millions of tires end up in landfills, creating an environmental crisis with far-reaching consequences. In the United States alone, over 274 million tires were scrapped in 2021, with nearly a fifth of them being discarded into landfills. A study has now pioneered a technique for breaking down this rubber waste and transforming it […]

    While sneaking up on prey, cuttlefish employ a dynamic skin display to avoid detection in last moments of approach, researchers have found.

    Proof-of-concept work uses unique, safe particles to remove microplastics in a single cycle.
  • A safe nuclear battery that could last a lifetime March 26, 2025
    Lithium-ion batteries, used in consumer devices and electric vehicles, typically last hours or days between charges. However, with repeated use, they degrade and need to be charged more frequently. Now, researchers are considering radiocarbon as a source for safe, small and affordable nuclear batteries that could last decades or longer without charging.
