In May 2021 we got the lab together for a BBQ – we were all fully vaccinated and the delta variant hadn’t yet surged, giving us a great opportunity to celebrate the end of the academic year. It was a pleasure to get together in person with lab members and their families.

We welcomed new(ish) lab members Rikeem Sholes, Olivia Molano, Emily Dale, and Emilee Doppenberg, and said goodbye to former lab members Jordan Hill and Trent Pratt. Jordan moved on to a research technician position at OHSU, while Trent took a position working with clinical lab samples at MolecularMD.
