@MichelleItano and the @UNC_NMC team are the absolute best! We love working with them and are so thankful for their dedication to helping us do great science 🔬👏

The Baldwin lab was feeling flannel today. First group picture! 📸

@KateReissner Yes! Sounds good to us 👍

@BaldwinLab Love it! We should do a combined lab meeting or astrocyte activity sometime when cases get lower.

Astrocyte or Groot?

Putting the finishing touches on the tissue culture room. It’s taken a LONG time to set up due to pandemic-related delays, broken elevators, etc…but finally we are ready to go! I am also very excited about the supply cart I found at The Container Store 😆
