Spencer Asay is a Research Assistant at Lindau Lab. Colleagues describe them as "Spencer is one of the hardest working and most determined people I know. He strives to be the best at everything he does. During the 6 months we worked closely together in Cambodia, he patiently helped me learn the Khmer language and encouraged me push my vocabulary beyond the basics. Spencer is a great friend and a great asset to any team he is a part of. " and "I have worked closely with Spencer Asay for almost two years in both the Nutritional Science Club (NSC) presidency and as cancer research assistants at BYU. Spencer has always been prepared and professional in our interactions and he followed through on each assignment I gave him for the NSC often within the same day and if not that even then it was by the next day. I joined the lab after Spencer had already joined and any time I asked him for help he quickly and clearly communicated the necessary information allowing me to move forward on my research. I have also observed and then worked with new students he has trained in the lab and they come capable to assist me on in my research project. This speaks to both Spencer's ability to clearly communicate and his willingness to help others succeed. I fully recommend Spencer as a capable team member, problem solver and leader. - Ian Berlin"
