Report cards for the kidos came. My message after seeing B+ among long list of As: B+? We don’t get Bs in this family! [My own grades back in the day don't matter]. My message to my undergrads who got Bs but are unhappy with it, specially the premed ones, “B isn’t a bad grade!”
Proud of the undergrads in my and @SehoyaCotner's group doing such a great job at the @umncbs undergrad #research symposium today and representing #BTL department well!
#TheSwordOfLove @YuniQSoul Just read this story. The plot, the twists! Completely engrossing. Masha Allah, you got game.

Students just returned from Tropical Reef Ecology in Honduras where they did all sorts of fun and educational things. They also brought back a little warm-weather inspiration for a very cold day in Minnesota (as choreographed by course instructors Sehoya and Jim Cotner)!
