The Graduate College Thesis Research Support Fellowship supported my research on salamander inner ear development. This allowed me to conduct additional microscopy work and imaging data analysis to complete my thesis research. Without this fellowship, it would have been much more difficult to dedicate the necessary time and resources to completing my research. As a graduate student, it meant a great deal to have my research supported by The Graduate College.
