Annie was an undergrad in the lab for two years, working on pinpointing the midline of the hindbrain as the source of the spontaneous activity. She spent a summer at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and most of a year traveling through Indochina visiting clinics, and is attending medical school at the UW.
Audrey Moruzzi
