Lab Life

Here at the Simpson lab, we take pride in fostering a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment for everyone. We often take part in social activities outside of the lab and enjoy each others' camaraderie.

Check out some of the shenanigans we get up to below!

Halloween 2024

Alastair embraces his roots for halloween, and gives an unforgettable lecture. Even Yana stopped by!

Alastair's birthday 2024!

The perfect birthday gift for any protistologist... a cake reconstruction of Carpediemonas. Or should we say... Cakediemonas.

Sampling trip 2024

The lab goes on a sampling trip in Nova Scotia to find some new protists!

Midsummer

The lab celebrates midsummer with a garden party. With fun hats a plenty!

Celebrating the solar eclipse in lab

We made a light box to view the eclipse from an old flask shipping box.
