@KimrynRathmell stepped down as chair of @VUMC_Medicine & gave up her office, so I gave her a desk in my lab w/ the grad students. She's settled in & hard at work getting ready for the @theNCI.

My lab turns 19 tomorrow, starting from @Duke_PCB to now @VUMC_VCI @VUMCMolecPath. A lab is the sum of everyone in it and those that support it (looking at you @KimrynRathmell). Thanks to all for the privilege of sharing a fun and ongoing journey!
