CSUPERB Symposium – January 2023
January marked our return (finally!) to in-person conferences. Hiep and Nick were able to present posters of their research at the CSUPERB Symposium. The poster session was held in a tent in the parking lot of the Santa Clara Marriott during a monsoon, but we all managed to stay dry!

Crowhurst Lab pool party – July 2021
A smaller group at the pool party than we had in the past – mainly due to “the COVID”. But we had lots of fun – multiple lab generations coming together to eat burgers! Oh yeah, and there was some swimming and chatting, too.
