The Shafi and Su Labs did some team bonding with an escape room trip and welcomed our new team members Myungjoo (Shafi Lab) and Aditi (Su Lab). With some great collaboration, we escaped just in time! We celebrated our success with a team lunch at Torchy's, which came highly recommended by our favorite Texan PI.
