Anderson Speed successfully defends his dissertation
Congratulations to Anderson Speed for defending his dissertation! Anderson’s thesis committee, friends, and family (both in person and virtually) were all there for a fantastic defense. Here he is just after his committee approved.
Anderson is the first PhD from the lab, so we inaugurated the lab tradition for all future graduates — the decoration of the mortarboard by fellow lab members (it’s a mouse rig, of course).
Great job Anderson!
