Welcome to the Diamond lab! While during the day we study pathogens ranging from alphaviruses to zika, after work there are many opportunities to socialize and have fun! Many lab members play badminton and/or pickleball on a weekly basis, while summer happy hours are another great way to get to know your lab mates. A larger lab has many advantages, one of which is being part of our popular thesis defense/goodbye parties that celebrate the achievements of our amazing grad students, post-docs, and staff, wishing them the best on their future endeavors!
