It's official...

I have my Ph.D!! On Monday, August 17th, I defended my dissertation. It was awesome! My parents and brother came down for the event. I can't believe I am finally done with school!

The title of my talk (a bit blurry) "A Novel Function for Fibulin-5 in controlling integrin-induced ROS production: Implications on angiogenesis and cancer."



My parents and brother waiting anxiously for my defense to start.





My children gave me a nice card, beautiful roses and big hugs when I got home!




My mentor and his wife took my parents, my husband and I out for a very nice dinner to celebrate that night. It was wonderful!
