🎨 We kicked off #TWS2024 with our first (hopefully not last) LGBTQ+ craft night! Turns out scientists can be artists too. We designed and carved rubber stamps and printed them on shirts, bandanas, & more, & even painted skulls! Thanks to all those who came to hang out! 🎨

👣 Our other event to kick off #TWS2024 was a walking tour of Baltimore! We had a blast strolling around the water and exploring downtown. 🏙️
