Sendurai Mani: A Day of Science and Nature – A Memorable Picnic with Dr. Bob Weinberg and Team
“A Day of Science and Nature: A Memorable Picnic with Dr. Bob Weinberg and Team.
I extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Robert Weinberg, my postdoctoral mentor, for his exceptional hospitality and for inviting me and my lab members (Mani Lab) from the Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University to his cabin in New Hampshire for a fun picnic. It was a pleasure to engage in enriching discussions with the talented ‘Weinbergians,’ as well as fellows and students from the Whitehead Institute. The combination of great science and nature’s beauty made this an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Bob, for this remarkable occasion!”
