The Chilkoti Group rested all their pipettors, shut down all their centrifuges, and cancelled all plasmon propagation today in favor of gathering at Little River Park (just north of tropical Durham, NC) for a summer picnic! Given the relatively dry heat, all sorts of summer fun was had; frisbees, volleyball, badminton, soccer, nature walking, sun burning, sweating, hydrating, eating, etc. Multiple photographers were on hand to document the ongoings, however, no one managed to capture evidence of the small fire we started! We did, however, capture a particularly fierce volleyball sequence (be sure to click over to the play by play commentary as well) during our professional volleyball tournament. Also, check out another gallery with all sorts of pictures from the event. Thanks to Amy and Vicky for making this happen!
