the lab turns one, and more! 🥳

The lab(s) turned one year-old in January!

We had a celebration with the Bryant Lab, Gilliespie Lab, and Kong Lab to celebrate! We are grateful to have such a great community of labs surrounding us (especially Claudia).

Two new members – Lily & Makenna

Lily is a Biochemistry graduate student who is rotating with us this winter quarter. She is working with Michelle to identify some very basic but important facts about cell shape change during tubule morphogenesis.

Makenna is a second year undergraduate Biochemistry student. She is working with Megan and Vesta on what is now known as “team tube”!

We’re lucky to have them both!

Submissions!

Makenna, Megan, and Claudia all had some significant submissions at the end of January. To celebrate we got cakes from Paper Cake Shop.

Marcel gets philosophical

Marcel is interested in understanding different “schemas” to support researchers – he’s encouraging us all to be brave and open as we sail into the unknown.
