my last day in the lab

Carley, Sam, Perrie, and Natasha

Friday was my last day of work in the Thornburg lab, and so we spent the day having fun together!  I was met with a large balloon bouquet and voodoo donuts that morning, followed by lunch at Bambuza (their veggie pho is great!). 

 After that, just to round out the day, I did a final experiment on the ultrasound - Kent wanted to see some images of the atria-ventricular canal of the chick, and so a bunch of us huddled around the machine to watch the blood flow through the tiny hearts.

Once my desk was cleared and cleaned, and my notebooks carefully filed away (hopefully not just to accumulate dust!), we set off for happy hour at McCormick and Schmicks.  They've got a great/cheap HH menu, and Kent kindly treated us all!  We had a fun time chatting and reminiscing.  I'm sure we'll be meeting there again soon since it's very close to my new lab and the CHH.  We'll definitely keep up with each other - I expect to be kept up on all of the news!

With that, I start my new position on Monday morning!  I'll be the Assistant Technical Director of the Laboratory of Immunogenetics and Transplantation ~ whew, that is long!  I'll keep you all informed of my progress there - I'm very excited for this new and exciting opportunity~  C*
