We’ve had two parties for the people how work in Esther’s lab. The first, was in May, just a few days after we got back from the Netherlands. This party was to both congratulate the graduates and to say goodbye Yanbing Wang. Yanbing was leaving the lab to go work for Hudson-Alpha in Huntsville, Alabama – a job that Esther helped her get through her connections with the company.

The first party was held at Esther’s house and catered by Mama Ning’s out of Watkinsville

Lab members: Yanbing, Lei, Qian, Lucas(intern from France), Tosin, Katherine, Nada, Lindsey, Manoj, Austin and some family members

Lake and pizza party – we had all of the lab people attend plus Toni, Celia, Aida, Paola and Raul. Everyone had a great time swimming, canoeing and building there own pizzas.
