Student Testimonials
"CBA has a focus on balancing research and education. This balance is one thing
that I value as a graduate student, having future goals to run my own lab but also
help develop the next generation of scientists."
- Lucas Yearwood
"Do not be afraid to ask questions! Some of the best conversations happen by asking a question no matter how simple it may be. I am always learning something new in different disciplines whether from our journal clubs or seminars. I am always starting conversations with my friends by saying 'Did you know?"
