Started as grad school buddies, now we’re colleagues and collaborators! It was so fun getting our research groups together to hang out. A lot has changed, but the friendship’s still going strong! 👯‍♀️🧪✨

On Saturday we had the 5th annual department Picnic/Fishing Day at Piney Lake, before the thunderstorms chased us off! Sandip had the most celebrated fish, and congrats and farewell to soon-to-be Dr. Abbie who is the last remaining student from the 2020 outing!

"When I draw a molecule in China or in Argentina, it is the same molecule. People understand immediately without knowing Spanish or Chinese. That is beautiful. Our common goal is not about power or borders of the country, it is about bringing forward human knowledge." Ben Feringa
