This summer, Sacha participated in the Summer Research Early Identification Program at Brown University as part of the Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology department. Sacha spent nine weeks learning XROMM methods and workflows, and gained skills in dissection, surgery, and data analysis. He gave an oral presentation as part of this experience at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium and a poster at the Brown Summer Research Symposium at the end of the summer, and will be presenting a poster at SICB in January.
