So much fun to host rockstar graduate student Edwin Pena Eddie☀️🧬 for six weeks to build an MPRA in our lab. We will miss you so much! Excited for you to come back in August to transfect these libraries in August. Thanks José Arcadio Rodríguez-Martínez for sending him to Cincinnati!

A wonderful night with our friends and collaborators Ben Gewurz and Dr. Bo Zhao. Homemade lasagna and Greater’s ice cream. It is way more fun to study #EBV with friends.

Lab party this afternoon. So wonderful to spend time with this amazing group of scientists and their families. Crazy that it is over 90 degrees a day before Fall!
