Lab Fun

15/08/25: Summer BBQ with Science and Flavor 🍖🌽

The lab gathered for a summer barbecue, grilling up both meat and vegan options while sharing research ideas and good laughs. Our diverse team of ‘master chefs’ made it an international feast!

18/01/25: Winter Adventures on Skis! 🎿❄️

Winter is here, which means it’s time for skiing! The Shiu Lab hit the snowy trails together for some cross-country fun, a great way to enjoy Michigan winters while taking a break from the lab.

04/10/24: Fall Colors Camping Trip in Michigan 🍂🏕️

Michigan is a beautiful place for camping, and this fall the Shiu Lab headed up to the Upper Peninsula to enjoy one of the state’s best attractions, the stunning fall colors! It was the perfect mix of lab bonding, fresh air, and Michigan’s natural beauty.

06/16/24: Plant Biology Conference

Members of the Shiu Lab had a great time at the Plant Biology Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. We enjoyed an inspiring week filled with outstanding scientific talks and discussions, and even had a chance to explore the beautiful surroundings of Hawaii after the meeting

22/04/23: ASPB Midwest Conference

Posters, plenaries, and plenty of protein (both dietary and plant-based). Midwest ASPB gave us fresh ideas and even fresher reasons to keep training our appetites.

18/11/22: Lab meeting and food

We meet at Shinhan and Melissa’s, where the snacks are abundant, the science is lively, and the jokes are peer-reviewed.

28/10/21: Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin carving party! Michigan brings the colors and the chill; the lab brings the laughter (and questionable jack-o’-lantern design choices)

19/11/20: Among Us

We had our lab meeting on a space ship and it turns out that there were imposters among us! (The general concensus was that Shinhan was usually the imposter.)

13/08/20: Outdoor Lab Party

The lab met in Shinhan and Melissa’s driveway for an outdoor, socially distanced party. Everyone brought pre-packaged snacks to share. This was the first time the lab had met in person since March!
