I have the best research students! This is why I do what I do - not for the nice words (though they sure help on tough days) but to mentor the next generation of scientist, researchers, and physicians. Mentors - what you do matters.

Our Member of the Month is Meghan Seth

Here is a little bio about her:

"Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. My name is Meghan Seth. I am from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I am a senior majoring in Biology with a pre-professional concentration. I am currently preparing for the MCAT and applying for this upcoming cycle. I’ve been doing research with Dr. Rhodes for the past three semesters. I really enjoy working with the ER-positive breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. I find it fascinating seeing these novel stilbene analogues created by Dr. Paul having an effect on the ER-positive cell viability. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and pets."
