September Undergrad of The Month: Brenden Yee

It is our pleasure to announce the recipient of the Undergrad of the Month Award for the month Award. This Award goes to Brenden Yee, who oddly enough joined the lab one year ago last September (how befitting!). Those working with Brenden note his dramatic development as a mature and responsible research student who takes a genuine interest in his research topic. "His committment to understanding the techniques and how they fit into the research project is one aspect that distinguishes him from most of his peers" says Zsuzsanna Pal, his research mentor. Also, Brenden has exhibited an admirable sense of committment and dedication to his research and his skills in the lab. For example, one of the first skills he immediately excelled at was animal handling with the mouse colonies as well as sonication techniques (led to his nickname, "the sonicator"). Indeed Brenden is worthy of this award as all dilligent research students should be recognized for their genuine efforts. He remains an example for other research students striving to learn and mature in the laboratory setting.
