Maria (Betina) Pampena and Hongen (Solomon) Wang had a great time learning at the Annual Course in Cytometry! The intensive 5-day course was held at Drexel University this summer. Betina is one of our core facility’s superusers. She received a full scholarship to attend. Solomon is one of our staff members. He has been working for the core for several years as a cell sorter operator. We are thrilled to hear they enjoyed the course and look forward to hearing when and where the next annual course will be held!
