Bethany Mejia joined the #ValdezLab in 2022 & has been developing new tools for #diabeticretinopathy research. I am truly going to miss having her in the lab. 😢#nativeinstem #womeninstem #diverseinstem #diversitymatters #indigenous #graduation2024 #thisiswhatascientistlookslike

Excited to share that I received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring from President Biden. I am grateful everyday for the amazing students I get to mentor and help on their journey! tahlequahdailypress.com/nsu-student-re…
