April 7 - A long overdue update

The lab website has been neglected over the last 9 months thanks to the addition of our youngest lab member, Jensen Dewar. While there hasn't been much activity online, the lab has been busy while I've been on mat leave. Now that I'm back, check back for more updates as we will be launching new studies over the coming weeks and will be looking for volunteers interested in participating in our research.
