We (rLab sensu stricto, lato, and everything in between) are excited to welcome Caleb Onoja Akogwu to the lab!! Fresh from a summer of finishing his Master’s (in China), visiting family (in Nigeria), and completing a major fellowship application, Caleb has settled right down to a relaxing semester as a new PhD student. So great to have you here Caleb!
Our first lab event with Caleb — pizza on Center Street! I think Caleb was ok with the pizza but a bit sketched out by the idea of a hamburger. L to R, Carl, Chinedum, Caleb, Julia.
Caleb with his first North American sighting of Dasiphora, the genus he worked on for his Master’s thesis.
We also had a “welcome Caleb” hike up Logan Canyon. Pay those dark clouds no heed, we’re all outdoors professionals here. (…)
Inaugurating Caleb into Team Fern (Julia is already a card-carrying member but she missed the Botany meeting this year so needed a new shirt).
