The group celebrates the end of their poster presentations! Everyone had a lot of fun paddle boarding thanks to the BME CUReS coordinators! The group enjoys socializing over some barbeque at Freedman’s. Donavon and Fawaz are all smiles as they wait for the bus. The guys really enjoy exploring along the creek that flows through campus. Everyone’s always excited to dig in at the Friday seminar lunches! Gaby and Donavon love getting around on the new Lime electric scooters. After a long day in lab, Gaby treats herself to a frozen banana at one of the many food trucks around campus. To celebrate the fourth of July, the group joins up with another REU and grills some hamburgers and hot dogs outside of San Jacinto residence hall. After grilling, the group lights some sparklers and watches fireworks from the top of the parking garage. Donavon, Dominique, Gaby, and Fawaz thought the graffiti park was tons of fun! We got a lot of great pictures! Graffiti park! Fawaz, Dominique, and Gaby make sure to get a picture in front of the cool murals on Guadalupe. When we saw the tower lit up at night we just had to get a group pic! Together with another REU, the group relaxes after lab with a puzzle. -Dominique WuDunn, Princeton University
