The lab is in the midst of our annual (3x recurring) March Madness NCAA college basketball tournament challenge! Shout out to previous winners Meggie and me! The winner will receive a fun microbiology-themed prize. We celebrated with our annual lab trip to Buffalo Wild Wings where we all ate and suffered from the spiciest Blazin’ wings. The UC Irvine Anteaters (men’s) were very competitive this year, but sadly were outmatched by UC San Diego, and we did not make the NCAA tournament – better luck next year. Also sadly neither of my Alma maters IU or Cal made the tournament. At some point I need to start asking – maybe it’s me? Regardless, it was a fun celebration of basketball, microbiology, and spicy chicken. Best of luck to all the pool participants – I am accepting suggestions for what the prize should be this year, it can be anything except more spicy wings.
