Author: Emma Hinkle

Emma is a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Giudice Lab and the Genetics and Molecular Biology Department. She currently investigates the effect on mechanotransduction on alternative splicing. In her spare time, she podcasts on the Steministas podcast where her and another grad student educate the public about science in the news and the ethical implications of new science findings. She is a lover of the God who set her free and the husband who makes her laugh. Besides science, Emma weightlights, reads as many books as possible and drinks many cups of tea and coffee.
