From the Director
Two weeks in! So much great energy by everyone – all of your hard work is much appreciated. Congrats to our SARs (and non-SAR applicants) who are getting their fellowship applications in!
We have big congratulations to Haley Bush on her wedding and to Alex Gunn on the birth of Ronan William Gunn! Dr. Butterly also welcomed his 3rd grandchild this weekend! All is well on the recruitment front for 2048.
Kudos
