After 5 years of working in the Fredrick lab it’s time for this little birdy to fly! I have at long last learned the truth of the anti-Shine Dalgarno sequence…somewhat. Verily, I am grateful for all of the great things I have learned and experienced in the lab. Big thanks to Kurt and everyone else (Bappa, Michelle, Menglin, Lanqing, Ben, Sepideh, Fawwaz, Dean, Siddik, and Stephen).
