Savannah Rocha-Wrigley, PhD
USA, Colorado State University, Tjalkens Laboratory, Postdoctoral Fellow
Adam Schuller, PhD
USA, Colorado State University, Tjalkens Laboratory, Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Rocha-Wrigley has always emphasized to trainees that science is a discipline fraught with challenges and failures. Experiments do not always go as planned, hypotheses are proven wrong. Knowing that success is built upon a foundation of failure has helped us to maintain perspective and continue our work with renewed determination and confidence.
