Congratulations Dr. Ahmad Ahmeda and Dr. Rowan Flynn!!



We have two new doctors in the Dept of Physiology! Ahmad successfully defended his PhD thesis (known in the UK & Ireland as the 'viva')in August and walked in his conferring ceremony on Dec 12th. He's decided to work as a post doc in Prof Johns' lab and we are very happy that he is staying!

Rowan defended his thesis last Tuesday (Dec 18) and is currently working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington in Seattle. Rowan was my former officemate - we had some great times together and it was sad to see him leave! I really miss him, but luckily he and his wife Ciera are only three hours away from Portland, so I'm sure we will be able to see them both this summer.
