The Ladner group bid farewell to two hard workers this month: Onur Apul and Pauline Amaral. Onur was a PhD student in Tanju Karanfil’s group before spending a few months as a postdoc in our group. He will now be working as a postdoc with Paul Westerhoff at Arizona State. Pauline spent a year as an exchange student in our group and is now returning to Brazil to complete her PhD.
Onur sent an email with a photo of an Arizona skyline. Pauline coincidentally just uploaded to Facebook a photo of a sunrise skyline in Brazil. So I thought these were worth posting as a tribute to the “new horizons” of these two lab members. And for the current members, perhaps it will help you see that there is an end, and maybe it is in sight!

Sorry, Onur, I think I’d rather be in Brazil!
