"Grillin' and chillin'."
This Saturday we had our annual cookout as a lab group. It was so funny! We played, we ate and we are ready for whatever comes.

[Castle Group @CastleLabBYU]

It has been a pleasure working with all of you. Thank you for your contribution to this group. We are proud of your achievements! 🎓Congratulations!!!!🎓

[Castle Group @CastleLabBYU]

Excited to see this paper published today. Congrats Jatinder Singh and #RadicalTeam!

@Hutton_Lab Congratulations Craig! Excellent work and a great example of perseverance.

[Craig Hutton @Hutton_Lab]

This one brings an exhausted, contented smile. A true pandemic paper, delayed by lab shutdowns, international travel bans, and 'procrastination' in writing due to being head of teaching throughout the pandemic. But it's finally done! Congrats to Ameer and thanks to all.

[Castle Group @CastleLabBYU]

Lunch to say goodbye to Tanner and Jaden. It has been a great experience having them at the @CastleLabBYU . Thank you for your contributions, work and enthusiasm. Success in your new projects!
