"We broke off into teams and went at it," said one lab member.  "I think we won," said another.  DuPage overheard saying, "I'm just super proud of all the members of our lab and they really showed how they can work together and take on big challenges as a team.  I think we've got just a great group of people, not just a great group of scientists."

The 2019 lab outing featured a treasure hunt of obstacles and adventures with teams (Tergs in blue, Lymphbrocytes in white, and IFNs in red) competing for speed, agility, and most importantly, creativity!
