Today we enjoyed our annual "State of the Lab Dinner," with special recognition of Haoqi Wang who recently defended his dissertation and Athena Louise Lopez and Fadeel Sher Khan who passed their qualifying exams this year. Haoqi received a quilt pieced by Dolores Markey to celebrate his graduation. It was also wonderful to reconnect with some of our local alumni.
