* We also had two affiliates, who were conducting research on Yale’s campus and participated in the enrichment and social activities: Natalie Steenrod (Horwich lab) and Meghan O’Connell (Howard lab). Natalie’s project was titled: “Studying the neuromuscular junction in ALS,” and Meghan’s was titled: “In vitro reconstruction of cytoplasmic streaming of kinesin-1”
