A hearty N’ Sync farewell to our intrepid now former lab manager, Ally Nowlan! Ally was an amazing member of the lab and our backbone for several years – we wish her that absolute best of luck as she starts grad school with the Cold Spring Harbor crew in neurobiology. Steve Shea has already been warned!

To celebrate her contributions to the lab and her new career as a graduate student, we did a little karaoke. We learned that, no matter where in the world you come from, you almost certainly enjoy drunk singing to Bohemian Rhapsody. We also welcomed our new lab manager, Neha Bhagat, who until recently was an undergraduate at Northeastern and had spent time in the Datta lab diligently injecting the brains of animals with viruses, amongst other things. Ally you will be missed – keep in touch, and good luck with everything! And a hearty welcome to Neha!

Ally wishing us all Bye Bye Bye

Neha, with pipette at the ready!
