Lab's first holiday party

Despite a major snowstorm forcing us to postpone our plans, the Rana Lab finally got to celebrate our very first holiday party together, surrounded by a beautiful snowy Midwest backdrop. As someone returning to the Midwest, this felt like my first truly magical Christmas back here, complete with snow-covered trees, warm food, and even warmer company!

Starting a new lab comes with long days, unexpected hurdles, and a lot of learning along the way, which made it especially meaningful to pause for an evening and celebrate how far we had already come together as a team. Here’s to many more Lab traditions ahead!
