Griesemer/Millstein Philosophy of Biology Lab:

I was a member of the lab from 2008-2014. During that time, I enjoyed weekly lab meetings, monthly ‘pizza munches’ in San Francisco, and meeting numerous lab visitors. I especially enjoyed the sense of community and the lab members’ ability to openly share ideas and support one another. A very special thank you to all the lab members,  who were nice enough to listen to early drafts of all my work, which often just resembled mad ramblings. Thanks for your helpful comments and taking my crazy ideas seriously.  I’ll miss you all every Friday at 1:10:59pm (pacific time).
