Today we celebrate Ian Humphreys 's successful thesis defense! Only the bestest brain food for Ian.

Friday we had a great celebration for Jeremy with a great thesis defense. Keep up the good work!

On the 9th we said goodbye to Karly Mei Fear and Steffen Klein! Their time here was short but their contributions will not be forgotten!

On the 13th we bid farewell to a short stay here from Don Hilvert and our long time undergrad Hannah Han. IPD sends off these two at very different stages of their careers!

Well I told Thomas Schlichthaerle very confidently that he wasn't gonna win the Nobel yesterday. I should do this more often?

Avocado toast is why the IPD can't afford to have more lab space 😭. This is also the first time the engraved DB fork was used.

Roasting chestnuts since it's in season! Lab manager rightfully vetoed open fires in the kitchen so we make do🔥.

New episode! Listen to Susana Vazquez Torres talk about her experience at Institute for Protein Design . 🐍 bakerlab.org/podcast/

Tea eggs for the lab. I didn't expect the food smell to carry over to all the floors in the building so sorry 🙃. (The batches were simmering all afternoon one day and then all day the next.)

Best read of the day - innovative design, and great science to generate large virus-like protein cages by breaking symmetry 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4146… Quinton Dowling, Sangmin Lee Ryan Kibler King Lab Institute for Protein Design
