Julia, former graduate student visiting from Seattle, and Sam, current graduate student visiting from Barker Hall, celebrate with Jennifer – May 2024

Julia took a pretty picture of campus the other night and just wanted to share the beauty of Berkeley. Also hello! This is Julia your new website updater. I’m not a woman of words but I do like pictures. So expect the lab pics tab to be flourishing…but also I apologize for my not so eloquent words in other places…

At the return of ASCB 2022 in DC this year, we were able to get a small (but MIGHTY) DB lab past and current lunch together. It was a lovely lunch to end off a truly epic ASCB. So much cool science, but mainly so great to be back in-person making connections and friendships with people again.

For the annual halloween party…can you guys guess it? We were cytoSKELETONS!!!!!!! Yui really nailed his costume design.

The return of the CDB (or is it CDP now?) retreat!! We got burritos!!! Also Julia won best poster, good job Julia.
