What an awesome day. Our first MSc student (Erin MacFarlane) and SIX BSc students from the Bruin Lab graduated from Carleton today! We missed one student in the picture but managed to get everyone else in the same place at the same time.
We are grateful to have our lab space upgraded to a brand new and beautiful CL2 lab in the Nesbitt Biology Building. Thank you to Carleton University for funding these renovations!
We're excited to announce that Erin MacFarlane defended her MSc today. She is the first graduate student from the Bruin lab to defend, a big milestone for everyone! Congratulations to Erin.
Research Day 2019 was another success. The Bruin Lab had three outstanding Honour's Thesis students this year: Laura Harkness (L), Rayanna Merhi (M), and Kelsea McKay (R). As has become a tradition, we celebrated all the Honour's students after with the McKay Lab.
Today was a big day for the Bruin Lab. Myriam Hoyeck successfully completed her qualifying exam and is now our FIRST PhD student! We are so happy that she'll be staying on to continue studying the long-term consequences of development TCDD exposure in mice.
Congratulations to Erin MacFarlane and Myriam Hoyeck for both receiving poster awards for presenting their research at the 13th Annual Montreal Diabetes Research Center Annual Scientific Meeting.
We joined up with the McKay lab to have a joint Christmas party, with turkey (thanks Myriam!), a book exchange, and games. Now, everyone has a non-science reading assignment over the holidays!
Dr. Bruin joined Diabetes Canada and other Canadian diabetes researchers (Drs. Erin Mulvihill, Lorraine Lipscombe, Sonia Batalia and Fraser Scott) on Parliament Hill to celebrate Diabetes Awareness Month and the national "Diabetes360" initiative.
