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]
