The shark should meet Muffin, the chef!
The Ware Lab celebrated five fall birthdays today with a phage, fly, and ribosome themed personalized homemade cake!
Caroline visited in-person for their RNA retreat & won an Outstanding Poster Presentation Award for her RNA biology project with the @BerglundLab !
The entire Ware Lab (fly-people & phage-pholks alike) came out to support James, Mara, & Caroline at their #STEMSI @LehighU research presentations today. Mara & Caroline won 2nd & 1st place in their clusters! Loved learning about all the impressive student projects this summer.
Congratulations to our own @WareLabLehigh phage researcher and @RARELehigh1 class of 2022 graduate Bachana Billy Bachiashvili @BBachiashvili. Great new adventures in research and medicine await.
Summer research student @BBachiashvili working hard: midnight gel art!
