Hello! My name is David Creasman and I am the president of CANCAS for the 2014-2015 academic. This a picture of me with some research I did last summer at an REU at UNC Chapel Hill, looking into regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics in axonal growth. I look forward to seeing you all at our Fall workshop, and at the big meeting in the Spring!

Hello! My name is Morgan and I will be running the Instagram account for the 2014-15 term as a CANCAS historian. This is from last year's annual symposium where I attended as a co-author. This year I hope to attend as the primary author as I continue to research the Pdx mafA fusion protein.
