We would like to congratulate our CaVX (associated) PhD student, now doctor, Victoria Halim.

She focused her dissertation on the importance of Paralemmin-3 on auditory hair cell structure.

Congratulations, Victoria! :) You put the A in Asian.

Also a lot of fun!
With great science comes great(er) alcohol, and games, and rest.

See you next year!
