My team 'Team Animal' has secured '1st Runnerup' position in One Health Codeathon 2019, arranged by College of Public Health, USF.
It was a great opportunity to collaborate with evolutionary biologist and microbiologist. Also, I felt fortunate to work with Professor Dr. Lynn Martin (Webpage). I was overwhelmed for being in a hackathon for the first time and won a prize at last after 3 long days! \m/
First day with my Professor, on August 2019!! ^_^
