The 14th TGF-β Family Conference hosted by @faseborg.bsky.social in Porto (July 26-30) was a wonderful opportunity to catch up with longtime colleagues, collaborators, and alumni! The TT Lab presented 4 posters and 2 talks. A port cellar tour and fado performance rounded out the trip🍷🎶 #TGFbSRC

We had not one, but two send-off meals for our graduate student Ella and our postdoc Lucija. We wish them both the best in their scientific careers!

Recently, our grad students and undergrad, led by Melissa, went to Loveland Intermediate School for Science Day to get the next generation excited about science! They taught the students how to make their own ice cream, and showed them how we make flash frozen ice cream dots with LN2 🥶😋
