SciPos is all about raving about our grads, so it’s time to take the opportunity to celebrate our most recently-defended superheros. Congrats to all of the recent UW Biology Ph.D.’s who passed their snake fight<\/a> and graduated during Spring and Summer quarters, these short summaries don’t do justice to your years of hard work, but we salute you [if slightly belatedly]! In chronological order of defense date, they are:<\/em>
