Undisputed stars

Alice (Allie McNallie)

2022-06 - 2023-06
Alice joined the group in June 2022. She worked remotely, and was always looking for new challenges. Alice had some of the same talents as Leo, including using cellulose and napping. She was a loafer, not a flopper. She is also missed dearly.

Leonardo

2015-06 - 2022-03
Leo joined the lab in the summer of 2015.  He did not talk much but worked extremely hard with senior members of the lab, incoming trainees, and volunteers/visitors to enhance productivity.  He brought unique expertise to the lab including odd uses of cellulose, flopping, and napping (?). From 2018 to 2022, Leo worked remotely. He is missed dearly.
