Slide 1 Welcome! Slide 2 Intro slide Slide 3 It's nice to meet you! Welcome to the Histology Hacks in Cryosectioning webinar. I am Dr. Marla Rivera-Oliver, and I am very excited to share today some tips and tricks I've learned during my ten years of experience working on basic and translational research. I am based in the Dallas, Texas, area of the United States, and in my current role, I support customers from North Texas and Oklahoma. I completed a bachelor's in biology from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico and a doctoral degree in Neurobiology from the University of Puerto Rico. I specialized in the spinal cord injury field and honed my skills in Cryosectioning, imaging, and in vivo electrophysiology. Then, I moved into a post-doctoral position at the Center for D...
