EHSO would like to recognize Priya D’Souza for the December Lab Safety Spotlight. “Priya consistently maintains lab safety and cleanliness. She is quick to identify and correct potential lab safety issues as well as notify other lab members. She also stays current on the available safety information and changes in Emory University’s safety policies and procedures.” Congratulations to Priya and the members of Dr. Barry Ryan’s research group for embracing a culture of safety. Keep up the great work!
