Professor Laurie Boyer’s Lab

To celebrate the end of the semester, Laurie Boyer, a professor of biology and biological engineering, took her lab group, which included undergraduates, graduate students, and members of the research staff.In addition, the group had dinner together and looked around a nearby outdoor market.

A few unlikely hole-in-ones (no one in the group thought they were experts at minigolf before the outing) and some much-needed hot chocolate at the outdoor market were highlights.Catherine Della Santina, a PhD candidate in Boyer’s lab, claims that she believes it fosters community.

We see each other every day, but our main topics of conversation are science.Instead, we talked about things like the summer camps we went to as kids, which is something you might not talk about when you inoculate cells or prepare the protocol.You become more familiar with people.
