Labmates 3

This week is my last week in the Behrens' lab. (The Behrens' lab at UMN, that is.) Below are three more of my super coworkers.

Emily was a grad student and a postdoc in our lab, and soon she'll be faculty at the U! Even though Emily's really smart, really productive, and on the "fast track," she's always been patient, helpful, and friendly. I might even say Emily is very motherly . . . Emily also likes to snack a lot. Oh, and Emily's husband built his own sailboat!


Jason is in the middle of his Ph.D. work. Jason loves baseball ("Go Twins!"), and his wife is studying to be a horse veterinarian.

Jason's got a healthy sense of humor.



Jason, Emily, myself, and a couple others work on a gene called IRF5, which we think is associated with lupus.

Jessica is a student lab assistant. Jess knows all kinds of stuff about diet and nutrition (her mom is a nutritionist), but what's really cool about Jess is that she sells plants. Lots of plants. Almost enough to pay for her college tuition. Click here to visit Jess' plant sale! It reminds me of the farming/dating sim, "Harvest Moon."
