What the Students Have to Say:
The Postdocs
I have interacted closely with
quite a few postdocs in my rotations and current lab,. I can truly say
that, in every case, I have been very impressed with the prowess they
exhibit in their given fields. I've had many very insightful discussions
and, in one rotation, received excellent guidance through the completion
of a pilot project. It was nice to see that, during rotations, postdoc
act as a valuable supplement to and not a substitute for direct instruction
from the principal investigator of the lab.
-Daniel Rathbun, Graduate
Student in the Usrey Lab
The postdoctoral fellows associated with the Center for Neuroscience have
enormously contributed to my doctoral training. I am a member of a larger
laboratory and the postdocs have taught me many techniques and skills
when the PI is unavailable. They regularly spend time with me answering
questions, giving advice, reading my work, and engaging me in interesting
scientific discussions. And this is not limited to the postdocs in my
lab; postdocs in other labs are also very willing to help students. This
is just another example of the close-knit, collaborative community I enjoy
in the UC Davis Neuroscience program.
-Jennifer Kelly, Graduate Student in the Amaral Lab
I've made good friends with a number of postdocs. They really get involved in the graduate program. You'll see them at journal clubs, student parties, volleyball, and the like. I found them to be an excellent resource. They're very willing to chat up your own research with you and weigh in with their opinion.
