Alia Hidayat wins HAB presentation award!

Alia Hidayat won the Best Student Speed Talk award at the 2019 US Harmful Algal Blooms Symposium in Orange Beach, Alabama. Alia’s talk was entitled “Domoic acid exposure induced transcriptional changes in the brain — potential effects on microglia.” Alia is a third-year student advised by Neel Aluru.

In August, Alia gave an excellent short talk in the WHOI Biology Department seminar series. It is exciting to now see her work recognized externally as well.
