Vivian passed their qualifying exam! Their time in HELL-en Wills Neuroscience Institute was a true Dante's Inferno of trials and tribulations, but now they have completed their Masters in Neuroscience and are no longer a graduate student! Freedom is sweet.

Our resident bird-lover passed her qualifying exam with flying colors! As is tradition, we celebrated this with awful puns in an email circulated to the entire MCB department and a big party! We'll spare you from any more bird-related puns this time.
