This post is a little late into the summer as the students have been gone for a few weeks and everyone is almost back on campus for the start of a new semester. However, I just wanted to highlight the amazing group that made progress on essentially five different projects during the summer of 2025. We ran into hurdles, did a lot of trouble-shooting, collected a lot of data, and had some fun. We enjoyed reading papers, discussing science, talking about their futures, and eating some good food.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Auden, Nandita, Ismael, Natalie, and Vienna for a wonderful time (and thank you to AI for putting together the front of our lab shirts with this awesome drawing of them!).<\/p>\n
