Summer greetings!

What a semester we’ve had! A big thank you to all users, staff, and funders who make the Lab a fantastic meeting place for ideas, collaborations, and exciting research.

Summer is here (in full force!), and activity in the Lab slows down as many of our users turn instead to experimenting with sandcastles, finding the perfect BBQ spot, and figuring out the optimal way to hang a hammock.

For those users who continue working diligently over the summer, we would like to kindly remind you of a few things:

  1. Please use the side entrance to the Lab at SOL—do not go through the library when it is closed.
  2. The SOL and LUX buildings have significantly reduced opening hours.
  3. The Lab’s administrative staff will be on vacation for much of July and August.

See you again in August!
