Basically this was a two-fer – Tari Tan totally crushed her PQE (one reviewer called it a “model defense”) on her project working on behaviorally relevant circuits in the peripheral olfactory system, and, as if we needed an excuse, the Harvard-themed science movie Losing Control opened (confession: the director of the movie, Valerie Weiss, was a classmate of Bob’s in graduate school). So we decamped to Kendall Square, got sloshed cheering Tari’s good fortune and skill, and, well, most of us made it through the movie. One way or another, a good time was had by all – congrats Tari!
