As of December 3, 2024, all of the McDonald Lab 2nd years (Tommy, Hana and Becca) have passed their respective literature reviews! Our fantastic 2nd years are now preparing for their Research Proposal Defense slotted for the spring of 2025!

From the Graduate Student handbook, “In year 2,
basic science reading, writing, and presentation skills will be developed in the course of writing a literature review of your given research area or topic and delivering an oral seminar to your
committee.”

Congratulations Tommy, Hana and Becca!
