"Russell is a force of nature. He drives multiple projects, mentors undergraduate and high school students in the lab, reads and questions the literature at all hours of the day and the night, and gives phenomenal talks (just ask his mentees and the attendees at the conferences he has spoken at). All of this is only possible thanks to his relentlessly curiosity, drive to succeed, and otherworldly organization and time management skills. Russell is most definitely a Lab Hero!"
