Former PhD student Dr. Heather Cray and former post doc (also a former SERS undergraduate student) Dr. Justin Gaudon also worked on . And we have had all these fine ‘ecology doctors’ work on a collective paper on something completely different – .
SERS and my group take mentoring students seriously and take the long-term path to solutions, which is why multiple generations of SERS undergraduate students have worked on theses that led to a collective work on my own first focus – , i.e. pollen that KILLS (cue dramatic music!).
