It's been just over 2 years since we joined Twitter. The idea was Shyam Somasundaram's, who died suddenly just a few days after we signed up. While this anniversary is bittersweet, we continue to honor his legacy through our research. And we miss him dearly. #MyTwitterversary

Once in a great while, we decide to put down the pipettes and enjoy time together as a lab away from the bench. So proud of every member in this lab! #teambuilding #sciencesuperstars

After 2+ years in the lab, we wish our dear colleague Shelby Schenck a fond farewell as she leaves to pursue her PhD in Immunology at UVA. While we're sad to say good-bye, we are so proud of her and can't wait to see all she will accomplish in the future! #womeninscience

Our cells speak to us. They tell us at each and every step how they feel, what they do, and with whom they interact. As researchers, it is our job to listen to what our cells are saying, but that listening is quite difficult. -Meenhard Herlyn, D.V.M, D.Sc.

We recently marked the 3rd year since Shyam's passing. Going through old documents, we found and hung his 30-year anniversary certificate. This year he'd have been at Wistar for 35 years. In a way, he still is, driving our work and guiding the next generation of researchers.💙
