What a great week!!! A majority of our lab (both current members and past members!) headed off to Newry, Maine for 5 days for a **Gordon Research Conference** about vascular plant biology. Not only did we engage in great conversations with people from all over the world who share our fascination (or dare I say, obsession) with the miracle that is plant vascular transport, we also got into nature quite a bit - we ate pie on top of a mountain, we swam in a waterfall, we paddle-boarded on a pond, we biked around rural Maine.... it was a dream of a trip!
