July 17 2008:
The Chilkoti Group rested all their pipettors, shut down
all their centrifuges, and cancelled all plasmon propagation
today in favor of gathering at Little
River Park (just north of tropical Durham,
NC) for a summer picnic! Given the relatively
dry heat, all sorts of summer fun was had; frisbees, volleyball,
badminton, soccer, nature walking, sun burning, sweating,
hydrating, eating, etc. Multiple photographers were
on hand to document the ongoings, however, no one managed
to capture evidence of the small fire we started!
We did, however, capture a particularly
fierce volleyball sequence (be sure to click
over to the play by play commentary as well) during our
professional volleyball tournament. Also, check out
another gallery with all
sorts of pictures
from the event. Thanks to Amy and Vicky
for making this happen!
