4 year old hikers, reporting for duty 🫡

But with responsible parents and prepared for the elements… in our case, slathered with sunscreen and bug spray. And we always have plenty of snacks and water.

I’m stoked about Mamdani, but since I’m not an NYC resident I’m also extremely excited that voters in Aurora might have ousted an incumbent city council member who helped stoke all the TDA rumors

Dropped off our ballots this morning on the way to work!

Jazzed to (hopefully) vote out the woman who’s proud to have stoked the stories about our city being over-run by TDA.

Today I took our ballots to the drop box!

Local elections are so important, I hope we get to see city council and school board members who care about our community! 💪🏼

I’m Julia, I run a lab at CU Anschutz in Denver. We study immunology in the digestive system to understand food allergies and sensitivities.

I tried bell peppers 2 years in a row and can’t get them to grow!!! Better luck next year.

This was the closest i came this year.

Love from Panda’s auntie!!

(Obviously my fur-baby and Panda are long-lost siblings)

I think the problem is the two kids of the same age… they sometimes form a kind of energy echo-chamber. I had soooooo many toys, and coloring/crafting supplies, but it was not enough.

Luckily i also have awesome lab members who helped out!!

Who invented spring break, anyway?

I made it to 12:45 before busting out the iPad. And had some help from lab members who watched them while I had a meeting this morning.

The Dunn Lab was out at the Stand Up for Science rally in Denver today!

It was cold but we met some great folks and had the distinct pleasure of meeting Steve, who had the most excellent hat 🎩

Happy Holidays from the Dunn Lab!

We had some cookies and celebrated this year’s achievements, my PREP student gave me a portrait of my dog that brought me to tears 😭, and we threw a retirement party for a furry coworker.

See y’all in the new year!

We’ve had a great time at the Autumn Immunology Conference in Chicago!
✅ Erin did a fantastic job with her presentations
✅ We got a ton of good feedback & ideas
✅ Reconnected with friends and made some new ones!

Cupcakes for lab meeting!

We get to celebrate a rotation student and postdoc starting this week! The rest of us deserve a treat, too 😉

The ladies requested chocolate so I tested out a whipped ganache frosting that turned out amazing 🤩

I couldn’t resist the temptation to add Cayenne to half 🌶️

I had to go digging to find this, and I’m not even sure if this is the original source, but I think it’s salient.

As scientists and educators, we have access to very important threads. There’s power in that, as long as we keep pulling.

Erin absolutely crushed her poster presentation at the Molecular Biology Grad Program Retreat last weekend!

Next we take this show on the road for Autumn Immunology in November… Chicago here we come 🥶 #immunosky #womeninstem

Lots of wins to celebrate, lots of exciting new plans to scheme 🤩🥳

Three is the magic number in the Dunn Lab this summer 😎

We have two summer interns and a PIKE-PREP student, all off to an ✨amazing✨ start!

Some labs have googly eyes.

But not us.

We have Lisa Frank 😎

I still don’t understand why we pay journals so much money.

Yeah our residential production dipped by about 2kWh for the whole day… fairly marginal.

Some visitors to the lab today. ❤️

IDK if it will be funded but after so many “ND” applications I am over the MOON 🌝

Can’t wait for the next big steps!
