"I'm a bit anxious, yet very excited to have the opportunity to showcase the work I did over the summer in the Habelitz lab. I am honored to be a part of the Hatton Competition" adds Odsinada Oji with a smile, acknowledging that the prestigious Hatton marks the first time that research in which she has participated will be judged in competition.
