HALLOWEEN 2018: We joined forces with the Li lab to recreate the iconic "Magic School Bus" with the bus reflecting the awesome science we do! Cody as "Arnold", Lucas as "Ralphie", and Dr. Andres as "Liz". Also, what would Halloween be without a few Halloween treats! I'm saving the bumper with the "Andres Lab" and the bus door that has a diffraction pattern as decorations for our new lab space!
Welcome to Pardis! Pardis is our first summer student, and also a recipient of a 2018 IIDR Summer Student Fellowship - congratulations!

The x-ray system is back online! After being on hiatus for some TLC, it was time to start screening all those crystals that have been patiently waiting to be bombarded with x-rays. First up in the beam was lysozyme, to make sure everything was running smoothly - and it was! If only every crystal diffracted as well as lysozyme!
