My favorite part of being in Dr. Tuakli-Wosornu’s lab is the opportunity to be a part of a family that is truly passionate about breaking down barriers and magnifying the voice of those who are often unheard. Dr. Tuakli’s constant vision and incredible leadership has inspired me on so many levels and enabled the lab to achieve unprecedented progress and I am excited about my continued future involvement. – Taylor Ottesen
