A really fun Chaudhuri Lab reunion in Boston, with special guest Dan Fletcher! 🥰 Special thanks to Kolade & @sungmin.bsky.social for the privilege of presenting at the Harvard Bioengineering seminar series yesterday. And glad they finally got to meet Dan, their “science grandpa!” 😂

Lab: Why aren't we on Bluesky? Dan: Umm. I don't follow Bluesky. Lab: But the rest of the world does. Scientists too. Dan: I see. What's your point? Lab: We should be on Bluesky. And join scientific discussions. Dan: I'm more the silent type. Lab: We'll run it. Dan: Go for it!
