This blog begins with an ending: recently we bid farewell to our visiting PostDoc Jiichiro Yoshimoto. Jiichiro was visiting us to work on the mite system, and so he spent a great deal of time moving around chunks of moss and staring into microscopes identifying mites. He and I (Andrew) also spent a few hours a week identifying beetles in the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. We already miss Jiichiro’s quiet, cheerful presence around our lab.
A gathering at Diane’s house to celebrate Jiichiro’s contribution was the occasion for a rare lab photograph. It was a pretty complete photograph when it was taken — but its already out of date! With the beginning of a new semester new people have joined our lab. More news about (and from!) them soon!
Hi all! Thank you for uploading the photo.
And thank you for the nice comment, Andrew!
Sorry for not leaving a comment sooner.
I’ll never forget wonderful days spent in the lab.
I wish everyone’s good luck in your studies!
