We recently marked the 3rd year since Shyam's passing. Going through old documents, we found and hung his 30-year anniversary certificate. This year he'd have been at Wistar for 35 years. In a way, he still is, driving our work and guiding the next generation of researchers.💙

Our cells speak to us. They tell us at each and every step how they feel, what they do, and with whom they interact. As researchers, it is our job to listen to what our cells are saying, but that listening is quite difficult. -Meenhard Herlyn, D.V.M, https://t.co/sNr7SWNQYb.

After 2+ years in the lab, we wish our dear colleague Shelby Schenck a fond farewell as she leaves to pursue her PhD in Immunology at UVA. While we're sad to say good-bye, we are so proud of her and can't wait to see all she will accomplish in the future! #womeninscience
