Speaking of Pre-COVID-19 Joy... lacydb1 Mon, 07/06/2020 - 21:09 RSS:

I just have to share this picture of Kevin. He was so happy! He had made a discovery and was bouncing down the hallway showing everyone in his path images he had captured on his cell phone. Thought I'd save it for his thesis defense, but I can't resist sharing. As rare as they are, great science days can carry you a long way! Even when he was then told to shut down his experiments and read papers at home.

It was simply a glorious day. We celebrated Shannon's F32 NOGA and Kevin taught everyone a thing or two about carbon dioxide, phase transitions, and the extraction of essential oils from a lime. Don't mess with microbiologists!
