Can't believe your time is almost here YEA! - I know you are excited! Looking forward to following your journals.
If you have time - stop by and say HI to my team for me. Not sure where there lab will be - but most likely in the Bio section of Crary. They will be there through mid-November. The PI's are Dr. Jennifer Burns (UAA) and Dr. Daniel Costa (UCSC) - two of their grad students will also be there - Kim Goetz (UCSC) and Michelle Shero (UAA).
If you can scare up a handful of Snickers to give them (try the cafe) - I'm sure you will get a big laugh!
Good luck and safe travels,
Alex
