Practice talks, team building events, and Phillies game, oh my! What a busy time it has been for our REU students and team, as we enter the last weeks of this summer's program. We can't wait to see the final posters later this week!

An invigorating board game night last night allowed our students to join in merriment, conversation, and more shared experiences. The smiles and thoughtful strategizing faces say it all! Thanks for the great energy, excellent turnout, and wonderful mentor support!

Our REU students are going places! Last week, they had the great privilege of learning from Nobel laureate, Drew Weissman both about his career path and his science. We are so grateful to stand on the shoulders of giants!
