March Madness
Madison Spratt started two major traditions in the lab: 1) the quote post-it wall and 2) Lane Lab March Madness. Every year, everyone assembles a bracket with the hope of winning the golden man, but the real challenge is coming up with the best science pun bracket name. The trophy lives on the winner’s desk until the following March, when it is handed over to that year’s winner.
