Here in The Ins and Outs Lab, we not only enjoy working together, we also enjoy being social together. Whether it’s celebrating lab members’ birthdays with cake in lab meetings, hosting holiday potlucks, or getting out and enjoying what the great state of Utah has to offer, you can be sure our lab does it all! Take a look below to see just a few of the things we love to do.
