Several of our undergraduate volunteers and husbandry workers graduated this year, coinciding conveniently with the conclusion of our fish room here in the Hoke Lab. We are sad to see them go, but so excited to see what they do in the future! Many of the undergraduate who are not graduating are also moving on to exciting things as our fish room no longer needs husbandry staff. Be sure to keep in touch and you're always welcome in the lab! This photo is from our end-of-year potluck to celebrate.

Meanwhile, our REU summer term has begun! We have three great new undergraduate researchers this summer who are working closely with Rachel on our toad project. We are so excited to see what they produce this summer! You can learn more about Stephanie, Emily and Jesse on our "People" tab. We also have a number of other undergraduate volunteers this summer who will be helping out and attending Popsicle Hour with us. (Popsicle Hour is our weekly summer meeting where we focus on more undergraduate-specific topics and professional development. The snacks were originally popsicles, hence the name, but now we typically pick a baking theme for the summer and trade off bringing in our best attempts. Last summer was scones, this summer is cookies and bars!)
