Fun news from Fall 2023

Our students are in the Finals period, wrapping another successful semester. I thought I’d share some fun things we have been up to this fall:

  • Several lab members went to a UGA volleyball match.

  • Lab folks have been lobbying for a lab pet.

  • My Queen of the Night plant bloomed; this is historically a good luck charm because the last time it bloomed I got my job at UGA.

  • I made a fun visit as a student-invited speaker at U Colorado Anschutz Medical School.

  • I celebrated my first Lilly Fellows family dinner as a Lilly alum (pictured with Anny Chung from Plant Bio, a current Lilly Fellow).

  • Our technician, Chris, has started a cottage industry of taking lab waste and converting it into jewelry.

  • We have some rad new data stickers for progress on our projects.

  • I got a sparkly Christmas tree for my office.
