Very excited to see our undergrads back in the lab 🙂  They have been gone since spring break because of the pandemic, and we missed them.  We have some returning undergrad superstars (Madison, Isabel, and Carter) and have added some new ones (Jameela, Tiffany, and JaKayla).  Welcome back to Auburn!
