18 February, 2018: Here are some photos of the lab’s outing to Slide Ranch in Marin County, CA for a mussel feast. We harvested mussels from the rocks, cleaned them and cooked them on the beach. It was a great day of amazing food, teamwork and conversation in an amazingly beautiful setting. This is sure to become an annual event!

Phil has mixed feelings about all of this. After all, it’s like eating your own children.
