So much fun to see my postdocs present their work. Maryam has been digging into potential uses for almond orchard and processor residues in CA. Also, check out our under-development webtool for assessing residue availability! calbioscape.org

Got vaccinated for flu and COVID at work today and, out of habit, did not actually look at the shots. So it was a delightful surprise to find these sweet Garfield bandaids on both arms hours later.

Celebrating the arrival of our newest postdoc, Sarang, who is working across both @jbei.lbl.gov and CABBI on our shared research objective. Got right down to business talking about AI+TEA 😁

I'm all for making it easier to build new buildings at our national labs. I dream of someday having stairwells with actual permanent light fixtures. Perhaps we can fix all the cracked windows too. A gal can dream!
