I was delighted to celebrate Nicole Lee’s graduation!

Over her years in the lab she investigated valence neurons, built behavioral rigs, hacked analysis pipelines, contributed to open-source software, and developed new optogenetic toolkits. Beyond the science, she was the kind of labmate who makes everyone around them better.

Congratulations, Dr. Nicole, and this is just the beginning!
