Thanks to everyone for another great year! From left: Mike, Amy, Derek, Megan, Xianxi, Carolyn, Thomas, Ryan, Taylor and Priya.

Special thanks to the Carolina Hurricanes and NHL for their Hockey Fights Cancer fundraiser. I had the opportunity to talk about the importance of funding for cancer research here in North Carolina during the intermission. Enjoy the interview, and Mike’s TV debut, at the link here.

Pomp and Circumstance for Allie Mills

Allie attended the UNC Grad School Graduation Ceremony on Saturday May 12, 2018 in the Dean Smith Center. Also, it was Mike's first "hooding ceremony", evident in the poor job he did trying to "hood" Allie on stage! Congrats again Allie.

We celebrated Allie's graduation and her last days in the lab at The Pit in Durham. Sad she will be leaving, but happy she is going to a great place (Hirschey Lab @ Duke). And, we aren't ones to complain about great bbq!
