Vanessa Addison, class of '23, had the opportunity to attend the Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Ubiquitin, Autophagy, and Disease held in New York last week. Vanessa is part of Dr. Ross Buchan's lab and conducts research that focuses on the molecular mechanisms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Thanks to the Michael A. Wells Scholarship and Franke Honors Research Endowment, Vanessa was able to participate in the conference where she interacted with leading scientists, attended informative lectures, and presented a poster on her research.

Vanessa encourages her fellow CBC peers to apply for scholarships like these and actively seek out opportunities to engage in innovative science outreach.
