Rocking the BSA

As we roamed last week’s Botanical Society of America’s newsletter, we quickly noticed that TWO Rothfels Lab rockstars were featured! Here’s PhD Candidate, Carrie Tribble and PostDoctoral Fellow, Dori Contreras, scholaring it up at the 2018 Botany Conference in Rochester, MI.  

Flapjacks and tattoos in the November sun

Many of us Rothfels labfolk gathered today for a brunch in the hot November sun to celebrate brunch and autumn and plants. We shared delicious food, coffee, wine, and many (all?) of us are now rocking biologically-accurate tattoos (supervised by tattoo artist Griffin Rain). It was great to get together outside of the lab and learn a little bit more about each other; e.g., that Carl, Griffin, and Carrie all look really good wearing cat ears! The spread included an amazing veggie-coconut cream-egg bake with optional Parmesan, buckwheat pancakes, gingerbread, fruit (Vitaceae, Anacardiaceae, Rosaceae, Ericaceae, Rhamnaceae…), baked butternut squash, and gummi marine animals.

Thanks to all who made it! [not pictured: Forrest, Keir, Larkin]
