Comments from her students: One of the most phenomenal profs at this school. Not sure of any other prof who can clearly master two of the most difficult subjects (immunology & advanced clinical micro) at the university. Amazing at explaining difficult concepts and is a genius in the lab. Dr. Stai is a great professor. She enjoys teaching and likes to have fun. she makes the subject matter interesting and fun to learn. she likes to make jokes and has a great personality. i highly recommend taking her for any class you can. |
