Bruneau Lab 20th Anniversary Symposium
A lab is more than benches in a building. It’s more than the equipment, or the experiments that are run. A lab is made up of questions and ideas, and the people behind them.
Celebrate 20 years of the Bruneau Lab. Current and past lab members reunite for this 1-day symposium as we recognize the accomplishments and influence of the lab and the community that fuels the science.
