Cayelan, Alex, Jon, and Kate recently returned from the GLEON 16 conference in Orford, Quebec after an awesome week!  The lab enjoyed some serious quality bonding time after embarking on an 18-hour road trip from Blacksburg to Canada and 17 hours back, with many thanks to Kate and Kaitlyn Doubek for packing us snacks en route.  At G16, everyone presented a poster and gave working group talks/report-backs, resulting in a phenomenal but very intense week.  We are all looking forward to some time off to come down from our post-G16 euphoria 🙂
