In true human form, the team forgot to take a picture. Luckily AI was glad to step in and re-create the scene…kinda…

In the lab we don’t set goals around acceptances. We set goals around submissions.

At our first Lab meeting of the semester, we borrowed a lesson from the card game Spades and “bid” on our scholarly output. We took an honest look at what projects were already underway, what was near completion, and what was realistically possible this term.

The conversation was thoughtful, energizing, and grounded in reality. I genuinely can’t wait to see what this team puts into the world this semester.

Guess what lab just got a 3D printer? 👀
