It’s a wrap! (Dec 22)
The group meets for the final time in 2021 before everyone disperses for winter break. It was good to end the year with a group lunch and a white elephant gift exchange. Trevor and Jack could not make it as they had already left campus and Todd joined us over Zoom for the gift exchange.

Congratulations to Vikas and Todd on their new paper! (Dec 16)
The paper discusses how biosensor-guided directed evolution leads to false positives and how to overcome the drawbacks to successfully perform directed evolution using PAL as a test case (link to paper).
