The lab organized another successful holiday cookie swap that included several labs. I was out sampling green ponds but saw a bald eagle relaxing in a tree (sorry the resolution isn’t great…). Fortunately, the students saved me some sweets when I got back to the lab.

The lab is losing two wonderful members. Suzie Tenison (below) has completed her M.S. (non-thesis) and Anna Claire Mollica has completed her undergraduate degree. Congrats! We are expecting big things from both of you. Of course, you will be missed. And, yes, Kate is levitating in the bottom picture.

Had a chance to cross a trip to Japan off of my bucket list. Best part was that I got to take my daughter, Lily, with me. Hiroshima, Hakata, and Kyoto were beautiful. People were so friendly. Food was delicious. Temples were spectacular. And the 20th International Conference on Harmful Algae was terrific.
