Wayne and Erika Pfeiler

Erika's been in the Netherlands since Friday last week for the 8th Lactic Acid Bacteria conference. It's held every 3 years close to Amsterdam. I'm not sure why they don't rotate the location, but the grad students who go seem to usually enjoy it. Erika's advisor is the keynote speaker, so they must think pretty highly of his lab and the work they do. They'll be back this Friday evening. We'll post pictures soon!

So I've been working on stuff around the house to stay busy, lots of little projects that needed to be done. Not too much else is new. We had a BME Dept picnic at Lake Crabtree Park which was fun. They had plenty of good food and we played volleyball until it got too hot. Yup... Pretty exciting stuff.
