  • Nathan passing the “koozie baton” at the WCL symposium reception in Boulder
  • Group dinner celebrating the end of the spring semester at Harvest and the many successes in lab ranging from experimental advances to conference presentations to papers published and (ominously…) under review.
  • A joyful and yet sad evening sendoff to Liv Moss on her last week in New Haven. Her going-away story had the lab’s artistic and comedic axes were on full display.
  • It was great for the current group (+ Dr. Menges!) to gather with Alums (Profs. Caroline Dessent (University of York), Nathan Hammer (Ole Miss), Paul Campagnola (University of Wisconsin), and Mathias Weber (University of Colorado)) as well as long time collaborators Profs. Anne McCoy, Gary Weddle, and Gereon Neidner-Schatteburg. Two memorable days of celebration with the community grateful for the compassionate leadership and impact of Carl’s amazing career.
  • Thien was awarded best postdoctoral researcher at the USC spring banquet! Thien’s on a roll with new results on IR spectra of single aerosol particles in the Dawlaty lab.
  • Anne McCoy just got elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences! Way to go ABM!! We’re celebrating on the evening before Mark’s Stauffer lecture at USC. That was a very special week indeed!
  • Chris Johnson gave a talk at the USC Stauffer Symposium honoring Mark. He presented outstanding work from his lab at Stony Brook and took us on a trip down memory lane with Gary manning the pirate gear on the first octupole trap.
  • Thien, Anne, Mitchio, MJ and Chris after the Stauffer symposium at USC. What a day of fun and science! Thanks to the USC hosts for making this a fantastic experience.
  • Thien showing off his single droplet infrared spectrometer in the Dawlaty lab. He discovered an amazing effect in which the particles dance wildly when molecules in them absorb resonant IR light. Nobody saw that one coming! Way to go Thien.
  • Abhijit, Mark, and Payten reunite with Thien at the 2025 MURI meeting in San Diego
