Together with the labs of Paul Maddox, Bob Goldstein, and Kerry Bloom, we enjoyed a weekend retreat at Sunset Beach, NC. Special guest Sadie Wignall, from Northwestern University spoke on campus on Friday and accompanied us to the beach. Florian Jug from the Max Planck CBG also joined us and regaled us with his work, while down at the beach. We played in the waves, competed in mini-golf, and enjoyed delicious cooking by the lab members.
