First, we are enormously excited for research scientist Aurora Ramos Nunez, who has moved on to her first faculty position at the College of Coastal Georgia. We will miss her enormously.

Congratulations to Hao Yan (a graduate student in Randi Martin’s Lab) for successfully defending his dissertation “Sentence processing in aphasic speakers with short-term memory deficits:Interactions between structural and lexical processing” – he will start a job at Facebook in September!

Congrats also go out to Qiuhai Yue (Martin Lab) for receiving a Dingwall Dissertation Fellowship in the Cognitive, Clinical, and Neural Foundations of Language.

Finally, congrats to Colin Noe (Fischer-Baum Lab) for being admitted to the Rice Neuroengineering IGERT program.
