Oana Butnareanu is originally from beautiful Los Angeles. This year she is pursuing a coterm in Latin American Studies, and plan’s on applying to medical school in the coming months. While she loves Biology, she is also a sucker for the humanities-especially foreign languages! As an undergraduate, she double majored in Biology and Iberian/Latin American Cultures. Her research interests primarily include community and immigrant health, with a particular emphasis on the Latino population. She has worked extensively in the realm of community health in Southern California and in various countries in South, as well as Central America. She studied abroad and fell in love with Madrid during her junior year. She enjoy’s baking, traveling, exploring different cultures, and learning new languages. She also love’s talking to and meeting new people, so feel free to stop by with any questions or just to say hi!

Sarah Lummis is coterm student in Biology from Jackson, Wyoming. Her Master’s coursework is focusing on Conservation Biology, while for her undergraduate career she followed the Ecology and Evolution track in the Biology Major. She worked in the Watt lab on campus and in Colorado as a sophomore, and did her honors thesis research in Fio Micheli’s lab at Hopkins Marine. For her thesis she studied small grazing communities in an intertidal seagrass bed using stable isotope analysis. She loves marine biology and has spent two quarters academic at Hopkins, taking classes during the winter for one and doing Stanford@SEA for the other. She loves hiking, camping, scuba diving, and spending time around the ocean. Although she is now an old grad student, she’s happy to help anyone interested in research, an honors thesis project, marine/ecology classes, or just generally making a 4 year plan for biology majors!

Emma Powell is a junior from Southern California and is following the Biochemistry/Biophysics track in the Biology major. She loves many aspects of biology, including ecology and is involved with the Stanford Scientific Magazine and Students for a Sustainable Stanford. She is studying abroad this year in Madrid. Emma is doing her honors work in Suzanne Pfeffer's lab in the Biochemistry Department and is hoping to pursue research at the graduate level after finishing at Stanford.

Anne Pipathousek

Edmund Posadas Hailing from San Diego, Edmund is a senior who is majoring in biology with a concentration in neurobiology. Edmund is currently conducting his honors thesis research in Dr. MacIver’s neuropharmacology lab in the Stanford School of Medicine. He is investigating ethanol’s mechanism of action on GABA synapses in the hippocampus. When he’s not in lab, Edmund enjoys eating, playing basketball, and playing tennis. After graduation, Edmund hopes to attend medical school.
