As summer ends, the lab says goodbye to Nick Kyriakides-Crowe, our visiting undergrad student from University of Southern California. We were glad to see Nick working hard throughout his stay at the lab, his work on alginate hydrogels’ mechanical properties propelled us forward, as he set the bar pretty high for upcoming visitors! We hosted a small goodbye party with cupcakes and reflection on Nick’s best moments and takeaways from his time here. Safe travels and good luck in your last year of college, Nick!
