This brings our faculty to 35—but only for a moment, because at the end of this year we will lose Kathleen McDermott, Roddy Roediger, and Michael Strube to retirement. Our community also includes 16 postdoctoral fellows, 79 PhD students, 15 staff and 41 research staff. Whether you are a student taking classes, a professor teaching them, or research scientist working in the lab, this is a fun and exciting place to be, with a brown bag or colloquium talk happening almost every day—sometimes more than one—scientific visitors coming and going, and vibrant conversations in the halls.
