The Robertson Lab News

April 2009

Excitement is building as the end of the semester approaches. Jacqui Mitchell and Grant Goodrich will be graduating (but lucky for us staying in the lab as fifth year students). Everyone is busy in the lab and preparing posters for Spree Day.

Sohini Goshroy (PhD candidate) gave an oral presentation of her work at the Northeast Algal Symposium (Amherst, MA). Her talk, titled "Glutamine synthetase II: A case of lateral gene transfer in basal Viridiplantae?", was well received. Bill Johansen, emeritus professor from Clark, was one of the meeting's co-conveners.
