The @Neal_Lab taking a break from the daily grind to reconnect and reflect on our lab’s values! Since day one, our annual retreat has been a time to work on IDPs, set goals, and grow together. A much-needed reset to kick off the academic year!

Loved welcoming Miramar Community College students to the Neal Lab for a research overview, lab Q&A, and tour! Educational outreach is at the heart of what we do, and it’s always inspiring to share science with the next generation of researchers. 🧬🔬

The #ABRCMS2025 conference was my first scientific meeting as an undergrad, and it was the experience that propelled me into science. Being back this week, surrounded by brilliant, aspiring young scientists, has been incredible. #Seeingisbelieving
