Connor M French started the topic RUG is winding down for the summerHowdy y’all!
I don’t know about y’all, but I need a break this summer. RUG is going to take a break as well and will resume in the fall. I thought I had one more meeting in me, but some last-minute lab problems have made it too difficult to host a last meeting. In light of everything, this year has been a fun one with y’all! I truly appreciate…[Read more]

If you weren’t able to…[Read more]
