This year’s outing took place at Connor’s Farm, where the team enjoyed crisp fall air, scenic views, and plenty of laughter between apple trees. From friendly competitions to group photos under the colorful foliage, the day was a perfect mix of relaxation and bonding outside the lab.

As always, the event offered a welcome pause from the busy research schedule, a reminder that teamwork extends beyond the lab bench. The day wrapped up with apple cider, donuts, and a few plans for what to bake with everyone’s harvest.

Here’s to another year of science, collaboration, and a little bit of fall fun.
