We spent a beautiful lab retreat day at the MIT Endicott House, touring the grounds, reflecting on the past year, and setting strategy for the year ahead. In the afternoon we got creative capturing shadows with cyanotypes, imprinting porcelain cups, and creating custom flatbreads and ice cream sundaes with our friends and families. Thank you to the staff at the Endicott House for the wonderful hospitality and the abundant and exceptional garden-to-table food.
