In other words, you simply follow steps to achieve a certain goal. Little did I know what I was getting into. In the beginning…
Communicating Cancer Research
Listening to professors describe and teach their work on discovering novel therapies against cancer, one begins to see how they are communicating effectively (I mean, hopefully they are). They 1) pause for questions, 2) describe aspects of their work from the beginning, not skipping steps and assuming their audience knows what they’re skipping, and 3)…
My Cohort: Armani Manov

This is extremely beneficial, enabling young researchers the ability to deeply analyze and examine how research is done, and not just in their specific field. In my cohort, I’ve…
Brackenridge Introduction: Armani Manov
Hey, everyone! My name is Armani Manov, and I’m a rising sophomore studying Computational Biology in the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. I’ve had the opportunity this summer to work with Dr. Wayne Stallaert, where his lab focuses on the study of cell cycle plasticity in human health and disease (www.stallaertlab.com). I joined Dr….
