What do you do when you want to find out what each other’s personal strengths are – in the name of improving teamwork and to capitalize on a lab retreat on personal styles and strengths? You head off as a lab group to an Escape room. And – we did it – beat the buzzer, solved the mystery and lived to tell the tale!!

Alice and Natanya giving some of our girls a good old sudsing! (for the unacquainted, this is a standard practice to ensure that as few microbes as possible enter the farrowing room where pigs give birth and raise their litters). For the humans it is all just bubbles!

Congratulations Amber on submission of her Master’s thesis – culminating a tour of force in the lab as an undergraduate intern, Honors student, and Master’s candidate in Animal Biology!
