Welcome to the new PMB graduate students!! Here they are at orientation up at Itasca Biological Station & Labs, enjoying the tail end of summer. Good luck this semester!

Great collaborators. Great weather. Heavy backpack.

Think you can find the definition to your favorite word without Googling it? Come see us at the The Bakken Museum and find out. Only trick is you have to write your own code to do it!

There are so many kick🍑 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM to celebrate. The Fringe Lab is lucky to have @acb2410 Hailey Sauer, and @taylorprice321. 🔥💪🧬🦠

Photosynthesis in action! In this short clip we see photons of red and blue light being absorbed by photosystem II. The energy then makes its way to the reaction center and is used to strip electrons from water. #education #animation #biology

Hey! That's me!! 🤗 If you have the time and are in the area, go check this out! (Also I'm excited, that's why I used all the exclamation points!!!!!)

Miss Moo, a stuffed cow passed to a new lab each year, is currently with The Fringe Lab's Hailey Sauer (Hailey Sauer) studying lake sediments at Itasca Biological Station & Labs. She also got a shoutout in Leslie Day #scicomm project (pictured) because cows have their own microbes!

Accepting Hailey Sauer nom. A week of The Fringe Lab in pictures. No people, no explanations which is perfect for Day 1: there is no explanation for this beverage choice. We nom #MissMoo to keep enough gas in the tank to fuel our posts for 7 days.

Day 2. Tiny boats and isotopes.

Day 3. Fieldroom - Friend or Foe?

Day 4. WFH.

Day 5. WFH. Working at home. 👩‍💻💪

Day 6. 🌟

Go check out this amazing work coming out of The Fringe Lab !!! Hailey Sauer is one of the most talented scientists I’ve ever worked with and I couldn’t be prouder to have played a tiny role in supporting this project. #scicomm #engagement #STEMeducation

PhD Pal (Cal) Study so hard you fall asleep with your glasses on.

A great group with some great resources! Way to go The Fringe Lab

It’s a team effort and nothing happens in the lab without creativity and hard work from the group. Hats off to Hailey Sauer for leading this effort (and numerous others).And @acb2410 on the DNA extractions. #HamLab
