Testimonials

I am very grateful to Jay and Jennifer for the impact they have had on my academic and research career. The period of time I spent in their laboratory was extremely important and contributed a lot to the formation of my scientific and professional foundations

 I owe my growth as a person and a scientist to Jay and Jennifer. I did my Ph.D. in their lab and had just moved to the United States from India. I fell in love with the science in their lab and definitely fell in love with science in general. It is in their lab that I learnt to do science the right way. I will forever be grateful for their contribution to me as a person and a scientist. My Ph.D. was the best experience of my scientific career as Jay and Jennifer made sure that I was surrounded by kind, down to earth, smart and hardworking people. Their contribution to the field is immense but their ability to take care of and guide young scientists is beyond quantification

 I am so grateful that I was given an opportunity to learn from Jay and Jennifer. They gave me freedom to explore different projects and guided me to become an independent researcher. As a principal investigator, I try my best to be as patient and nurturing as they were to me, but I think I have a long way to go

I was a fairly early member of the Dunlop/Loros labs and have thus seen the successes that my contemporaries who passed through at that time have had (they have gone on to faculty positions, positions at NSF, at research institutions, at PUIs, etc). This was at a time of growth in the number of people in the lab but this did not impact the mentorship that Jay and Jennifer provided---I always saw this as an important balance among providing advice, giving one enough freedom to succeed but also to stumble, and also enough oversight to reel back in ideas (or for that matter personalities) that weren't panning out.

BENJAMIN ARONSON

I had the pleasure of completing my post-doctoral training in Jay and Jennifer's lab. Through this time, Jay and Jennifer demonstrated a unique wonderful blend of intellectual brilliance, curiosity, collegiality, and thoughtfulness. Students, post-docs, peers, and collaborators thrived in their presence. While notably productive, the lab environment was a warm, friendly, and cohesive place to work. It was run as if it were a very large, functional, and respectful family. I, and I am sure countless others, treasure the memories of time spent in and out of the lab. I marveled at their unwavering commitment and significant contribution to the field of chronobiology and it was infectious. How generous they were with their time, compassion, and companionship as we navigated the mechanistic complexities of circadian rhythms throughout the sometimes slow and sometimes steep path of scientific discovery. I can think of no other pair more deserving scientists that have given so much to the field while also impacting the lives of so many. Every day I am thankful that our paths crossed and can only hope that all budding and established scientists are fortunate to have a Jay and Jennifer in their lives!
