Vanderbilt News Features SyBBURE Student Andrei Olaru

Work by Andrei Olaru and colleagues in Simon Darroch’s research laboratory was recently featured in a Vanderbilt news article.

Darroch praised the lab’s efforts in spearheading this research: “It took talented students like Gibson to actually get this effort going, and he’s been expanding the lab’s horizons ever since.”

These new horizons are already approaching in the capable hands of Andrei Olaru and Hale Masaki, undergraduate students in biological sciences and EES, respectively. “Andrei and Hale are using similar techniques to help understand some other mysterious Ediacaran taxa,” Darroch said. The students recently earned trainee travel grants through the ESI to present their work at the annual meeting of the Paleontological Society in Oxford, England.
