Congrats to newly minted “Dr” – Katie Dahlhausen

Congratulations to Katie Dahlhausen (actually, I should write this as “Dr. Katie Dahlhausen”) for finishing her PhD in the Biophysics Graduate Group here at UC Davis.  Her thesis was  entitled “Koala Poop Smells Good: How I Know This and Ways to Increase the Impact of Research Through Education & Outreach”.

Here are some pics / Tweets from her exit seminar and PhD bell ringing ceremony.
