Presented a poster titled 'Exploring the features of Integration in a Biology Integration Institute' at #SABER2024 with Emily. I would like to thank my advisor Stephanie Gardner and SABER for this opportunity.

As we wrap up #SABER2024, I am reflecting on the incredible kindness in the SABER. There is such a culture of warmth and support, and I leave each SABER with a full heart. I am thankful for the opportunities to learn from and share smiles with this amazing community!

Thank you to SABER for another inspiring conference and to UMN BTL for hosting a great panel with me, Angela Google, David Esparza, Kimberly Tanner, and Brian Couch! #SABER2024
