MARSH Lab went to Left Field Tavern for our annual end-of-year lunch, with a side trip to Rapid Fire Pizza to visit Kyle, a graduating lab member who got called into work at the last minute and had to miss lunch. It was great to celebrate our graduating seniors, Kyle and Ava, reflect on all the great science we’ve done this year, and hear about everyone’s summer plans!
