Nice try Ingraham.

So proud of Louis, both his accomplishments and his presence. Reading the interview reminds me what an honor and privilege it is to mentor young people in their journey of becoming.

Glad to hear this good outcome.

Very proud of my group’s presentations at the Biomedical Engineering Society annual meeting, including our high school intern Lily, Ali Mohammad , Roberto Alonso Matilla , and former PhD student Louis Prahl (presenting his Postdoc work with @HughesLabPenn).
