Great to see the ARR labs as the background for new borrowers movie!
3 years of the Rosser lab ✨ and delighted that the group has gifted me this hand made piece of art to prove they’ve been hard at work in the lab…. Wow.. It’s been a wild ride so far! Feel privileged to work with this amazing group of smart, talented, eccentric people every day. Bring on year 4..!
