Note to Vassie Ware:
Thank you Dr. Ware, from the bottom of my heart for all of your direction, support, and mentorship throughout the entirety of my time in the Biological Sciences department. Also, thank you for giving me the freedom to explore my interests, build different skill sets, and grow as a scientist.
Note from Vassie Ware:
You are one in a line of talented students in the Ware lab who have helped to unfold an amazing story about protein functional diversification and specialization. You kept your "eye" on the prize "like" no other. Your contributions will have a lasting impact in the field. A hearty congratulations to you on the completion of your doctorate in cell and molecular biology!
