Wow, it’s already been several months since my last (also first!) blog post. I’m happy to say that our influenza experiments continue to go well. Ben and Jason have been generating all kinds of interesting data, and we’re now gearing up to perform our third series of in-vivo challenge experiments. I hope that we’ll be able to publish our results by the end of this year.
In April, Ben presented his work at a poster reception and dinner for the Science & Medicine Graduate Research Scholars (SciMed GRS) program. It was a great opportunity for us to meet other grad students and faculty, and to learn more about all the interesting research being performed on campus. The dinner featured a keynote talk by LaMont Tolliver, director of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. His talk inspired us all to keep striving to reach our potential -- an important message for faculty and students alike!
In other news, our soccer team finished out the indoor season with only one loss. I wish I could say we carried that momentum into the summer outdoor season, but competition has been pretty intense so far. Last night we played well, but ultimately lost 3-4.
