Last week, Alex attended the CTVD Annual Conference in Cape Town, South Africa. The conversations, company, and views were enlightening! Here’s what going for a run with Al Leslie, Tom Scriba and Tom Hawn looked like.

A big week of celebrations! Congratulations to the lab members that defended this year: Constantine, Ivy, Sarah, and Josh (not pictured)! And also a farewell to Son ! Can't wait to see what's ahead for all of you!
