Spring Lab Outing

5/12/2022

 

By Hannah Carlson

The Abuelo Lab recently enjoyed the spring weather by attending a Lansing Lugnuts baseball game. We fueled up with good barbecue and laughs at Smokey Bones before heading downtown. As we sat right behind the home team dugout, we cheered on the Lugnuts and dodged foul balls. By the 5th inning we were ready for a concession stand run where we got iced cold drinks and salty pretzels. After enjoying our refreshments, the crowd’s voices filled the stadium with the famous 7th inning stretch song.
 
" Take me out to the ball game (Take me out to the ball game),
 
Take me out of the lab (Take me out with the crowd).

Buy me some reagents and pipettes (Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack), 
 
I don't care if I never get back (I don't care if I never get back),
 
Let me root, root, root for the Abuelo lab (Let me root, root, root for the home team), 
 
If they don't get funded it's a shame (If they don't win it's a shame). 
 
For it's p, less than, point oh five (For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out), 
 
For sig-nif-i-cance (At the old ball game).”  - Katy Kesler
 

As we watched the beautiful sunset, the Lansing Lugnuts hit a grand slam for the win!

Start of semester lab outing

International Heroes

Picture
Not all heroes wear capes, some wear lab coats. The Abuelo lab successfully defeated Fidel Castro on Friday, January 21, 2022 in a daring feat that required quick thinking, thorough investigative skills, but not punctuality. On a recent lab outing Abuelo lab members stumbled upon Fidel Castro’s office, after realizing his villainous plan to launch nuclear missiles our team could not just stand by and let Fidel cause mass destruction. Together as a team we were able to prevent a Cuban Crisis in which Fidel Castro was planning a nuclear assault that could have globally devastating consequences. As part of our mission we were required to decode numerous clues, perform meticulous mathematical calculations, blindly execute feats of electrical engineering. Alone we would never have been able to accomplish such achievements but together with teamwork and perseverance we saved the thousands of innocent lives from being lost. In honor of such heroic feats the Abuelo lab is being the presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom by John F. Kennedy (see picture). Overall, this experience was a terrific team building exercise for the Abuelo lab and we cannot wait to do another escape room soon!

Arpita has just published her first first-author article, summarizing her 2021 summer research experience in the Abuelo Lab.
In this manuscript, Arpita investigated the effect of parenteral antioxidant supplementation on the response to intranasal vaccines in newborn dairy calves. The administration of antioxidants concurrently with the intranasal vaccine shortly after birth resulted in increased mucosal immunoglobulin A production.
