Fall 2023 - Now, as you know, students come, students go, and in order to keep the roster on point, we gotta recruit. Madi, now a grizzled veteran of the Langlais Lab, took on recruitment, as in, one night within some gargantuan party posse, struck up a convo with a completely oblivous freshman and disovered a shared love of SCIENCE. Madi seized the opportunity and WELCOME TAHLHIHEIA! Tahlia didn't know it, but that wonderful college night was about to turn into a four year commitment of college hell, i.e. the Langlais Lab experience. Unfortunately for Tahlia, or fortunately, depends on your opinion on the Langlais Lab, Tahlia couldn't spend much time initially on the bench because of the black plague that infected every single cell culture for the entire Spring 2023 semester. Fortunately, or unfortunately, again, depends on how much of your soul the Langlais Lab can suck away, she finally got the chance to get to work starting her sophmore year. I can report that so far, Tahlia has the best first time glucose uptake data I have ever seen. Could she have the Madi Gackle-like golden hands? When she's not crying in the lab because this sucks, Tahlia enjoys playing tennis but little does she know ol' Dr. Langlais would woop her up on the court because he was Varsity tennis in highschool, she also likes doing other stuff but I'm too lazy to check out the email she sent explaining stuff she likes to do. OK, Tahlia will be with us her whole damn college career so let's get to work transforming this young limitless student into a fully functional business take of carerer! WELCOME TAHLIA! Wait a minute, I just realized what was in the e-mail Tahlia sent, and it's important. Tahlia is the first of the Langlais Lab members who does not want to go to med school or grad school or none of that, Tahlia want to go to get accepted to a physicians assistant program after college. That my friends is different, so, it'll be cool learning about all the steps a student has to take in order to be successful in that career path. I have heard that getting in is just as hard as medical school. Let's watch.....
UPDATE - Spring 2024 - Tahlia switched majors on us, that's right, she has gone to the world of Pyschology. Too bad, she was doing well on the bench. Good luck out there Thalia.
UPDATE - Summer 2024 - Well, Tahlia actually never wanted to stop in the lab, so, she's back! Welcome (back) Tahlia! 2 months later and now she's gone again. Off to the wonderful world of trying to get into Physical Therapy school. She's obviously going to lose in the Langlais Lab Fantasy Football League, I mean, c'mon. Duh.
