Emilee Hart finishes her PhD on a high note!

Emilee (soon to be officially Dr. Hart) is finishing her graduate studies in excellent standing! She defended her PhD dissertation one year ahead of schedule and has just published another chapter of her research at the journal Primates.

In addition, she has recently been awarded a conservation grant from the International Primatological Society for her work entitled "Validation of a novel field-friendly stress checker to measure fecal glucocorticoid metabolites in northern white-cheeked gibbons (Nomascus leucogenys)". The work has been successfully conducted this Summer at Kyoto University during a research trip supported by NSF-IRES, and it will have major implications on reintroduction projects due to the ability to monitor these critically endangered primates non-invasively.

Emilee鈥檚 accomplishments did not go unnoticed: she received two awards from the School of Biomedical Sciences: The Student Success Award, which is given annually to a BMS student who exemplifies early career success, including accomplishments in teaching/mentorship, research, service and leadership, and The Anatoly Khitrin award, given in memory of Professor Anatoly Khitrin (1955-2017) and awarded to a student who demonstrates creativity and independence in their research. Emilee clearly exceeded in all those aspects. Well deserved, Emilee, and CONGRATULATIONS, Dr. Hart!
