The Lab had a great time contributing to this event and giving back to the wider community 👏🏼👏🏼
No offense to our scientists, but these might be the cutest researchers we've had in the labs! 🔬🥽 We had a blast with Putnam City students for PC Jr. Scientist Days this week! This is our way of saying THANK YOU for all the support from @PutnamCityOK year after year. 🩵

The Krebs cycle is essentail for both catabolic and anabolic pathways, as well as regulating gene expression by communicating with the nucleus!
Hans Krebs identified the citric acid cycle - also known as the Krebs cycle. The cycle is a series of reactions that convert nutrients into other molecules with a large amount of chemical energy. Do you know why it is so important?
