Happy Birthday Jennifer

So our lab manager Jennifer, is one year younger today. We celebrated her birthday yesterday, with some nice chocolate cake, ice cream and of course, flowers. Somehow we were able to successfully prepare for the surprise without her ever noticing! Excellent stuff guys, everyone played clueless very well. It was funny though when she walked in, you would normally expect the ambush team...I mean err the patrons. We just stood around like we were loitering or something! That was so funny but then again we are lab people. But then again we're not. We're more like a family, this lab affords many things usually not granted in the normal lab setting. There is no corner for any one to go hide in and do experiments, everyone depends on someone else for something. Therefore, for someone to be successful they need to know everyone as each is an expert in some aspect of the lab. Even our undergrads have something to offer. What might that be you ask? Simple, whenever something goes wrong in lab we use them as scapegoats because after all they are not liable for anything, they come in very handy indeed (j/k much love to our undergrads). Around here labs dont make the people, its the people that make the labs, and with people like Jennifer, I am sure I speak for everyone when I say this lab is a welcoming and interesting environment.
