Amanda Dancsok, Yuda Shih, and David Twa

Amanda Dancsok is a Saskatchewan-born MD/PhD student at UBC studying experimental therapeutics for rare soft tissue cancers. Yuda Shih is a second year Master's student in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. His research interests include signaling mechanisms that promote myelination in the central nervous system. Dave enjoys passaging cells, filling out graduate fellowship applications that he has a statistically significant (P<0.05) probability of not winning, troubleshooting, troubleshooting and troubleshooting. Every third full moon from 11:00-11:16pm, he very occasionally engages in something which might resemble research, but only if Mars lines up with one of Jupiter’s moons and the tide is out.
