This past week has been a whirlwind of meetings and expectations and new experiences. I am delighted to be in a lab environment and looking forward to the microbiome sequencing experience. I never knew much about 4-H and now I feel a lot more informed. I feel like we are serving many masters – the labs, the KFP, the 4-H, and each other. It will be a challenge to see it all come together. However, I am so comforted to be working with the Salmonella fellows – we are an awesome group!
