The chalk talk that stuck out the most to me was the one given by Dr. Chantall Evans. Her work includes cell biology with a definitive focus on the mitochondria. Her talk was fascinating and helped shut down some pre-concieved thoughts I had about the function of the mitochondria.
One of the things I liked about Dr. Evans talk was her transparency. She was relatable and broke down the realities of starting a lab in a way that I had never heard before. In addition, her journey was very inspiring and it was cool to see that even though her journey was not a straight path, she was still able to be successful by pursuing her interests.
One day, I hope to be as great of a scientific mind and communicator as Dr. Evans. Se mad the science accessible and made herself seem approachable. I look forward to hearing more about her work in the future.
This is very sweet! Yes, Dr. Evans is so amazing and the science is so exciting!!
