I worked in Alfonso Mondragon\u2019s lab developing a new single molecule technique to study topoisomerases. I loved my time there, but it was nice to move back to NC \u2013 especially since I grew up here and my family still live nearby. Of course, that\u2019s the opposite of how it went after high school, when I was eager to go out and explore, so I did my B.S. in Chemistry and English at Caltech in Pasadena, CA. And, yes, I did double in English \u2013 book nerd alert. The interplay of protein structure and mechanism have been the centerpieces of my scientific journey and I\u2019m excited to see what I\u2019ll discover next.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What motivates you to do what you do?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I love the feeling of discovering something. I find it motivating when my research surprises and confounds me, since that challenge keeps me engaged and passionate about my research. Troubleshooting and figuring out solutions to all the daily problems I run into in lab, as well as mentoring students in these techniques, keeps the daily work fun and interesting to me. My PI, Sasky, likes to joke that I have 2 soldering irons and will take apart anything in lab to try and fix it. But it\u2019s not quite true &#8211; I\u2019m down to only 1 soldering iron.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-23492 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/biochem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/795\/2022\/09\/KHG_NS_photo_cropped-01-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Kathryn H Gunn at a microscope tool\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/biochem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/795\/2022\/09\/KHG_NS_photo_cropped-01-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/biochem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/795\/2022\/09\/KHG_NS_photo_cropped-01-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/biochem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/795\/2022\/09\/KHG_NS_photo_cropped-01-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/biochem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/795\/2022\/09\/KHG_NS_photo_cropped-01-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/biochem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/795\/2022\/09\/KHG_NS_photo_cropped-01-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/biochem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/795\/2022\/09\/KHG_NS_photo_cropped-01-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/biochem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/795\/2022\/09\/KHG_NS_photo_cropped-01-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/biochem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/795\/2022\/09\/KHG_NS_photo_cropped-01-560x560.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>What have been some of your best experiences with BCBP?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I have been with BCBP for a little over 5 years now and I love how collaborative everyone in our department is and how willing they are to take time and talk to you about questions from imaging vesicles to domain swapping.

One thing that stands out is that it can be incredibly helpful for postdocs to find mentors outside of their PI. I\u2019m lucky to have several BCBP faculty on a mentoring committee that I can gather advice from. After grad school there isn\u2019t a formal mechanism for a thesis style committee, so it\u2019s up to you as a postdoc to go out and make it happen. It\u2019s hard work, but worth it! Having a variety of people to consult with different expertise and viewpoints has been essential for figuring out my career plans and the direction of my research.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"TextRun SCXW123554494 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW123554494 BCX8\">What are your favorite activities outside of lab?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW230320322 BCX8\">I lead a <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW230320322 BCX8\">scifi<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW230320322 BCX8\">\/fantasy book club <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW230320322 BCX8\">at a local bookstore &#8211; Flyleaf, which is a ton of fun!
