Rlab sensu lato Melts in the Desert (and Delivers the Science and Good Times)
It is/was Botany time again! Palm Springs in late July might not be my first choice, but in fairness it wasn’t the conference’s first choice either. Regardless, the Rothfels Lab sensu lato represented and good times were had! A highlight was a colloquium celebrating the careers and individuals of Kathleen Pryer (my phd advisor) and Michael Windham (my pretty much co-advisor). It was great to see everyone come together and celebrate these two extraordinary people.
Rothfels Lab sensu lato with our Rushworth Lab compadres. So nice to have everyone together! Around the table from front left: Mia, Carl, Carrie, Jenna, Chinedum, Lan, Mike, Ixchel, Kallol. Missing in action: Joyce & Fay-Wei (out having dinner with their other friends and/or their labs, boo), Julia (cystopterizing in the mountains of Nevada), and some other members of the diaspora who couldn’t make it to the conference this year. Kudos to Mia for the impressive selfie technique.
