Got caught in action

Great job Martha being a host today at the 2023 IRM/CDRB retreat!

Failed lab BBQ due to the weather. I guess an indoor hot pot plus oven BBQ worked as well!

Me: Why is the penguin in the fridge?

Lab: it’s in its natural habitat.

They told me this looked like me with my headphones on in the lab. Also told me to put my headphones on to write more grants so the lab can stay funded and fun.

Farewell to Viktoriia – best luck on the new journey as a PhD student at NYU! We will miss you!

Happy birthday to the youngest in the lab! (Thanks to Aaron who got a cake with cinnamon, which I don’t eat, and dairy, which the birthday girl has lactose intolerance ) 😂

Farewell to my first postdoc, Lu, who helped me through the pandemic and relocation back to NYC. Sad to see you leave but family is the most important! We will for sure miss you.
