Friends at the Joint Clinical Resaerch Centre

Here are some photos from my last day in the lab:


This is Helen, an assistant in the immunology lab I worked in. She is a member of Uganda's women's rugby team. She played a championship match against Tunisia the weekend I was at Murchison. They won!



Here is Andrew and Arnold, two volunteers in the lab. Lab positions are difficult to get in Uganda, so they are volunteering their time in hopes of someday acquiring a permanent position.

This is Fred from the molecular biology lab next to mine. Everyone jokingly calls him Uncle Fred because, as a born again, you acquire that title when you marry.


Here is one of the nicest and most fascinating people I met here, Pierre, who is the immunology lab manager. He is from the Congo, but it an American citizen. He has a wife and son that live in San Francisco. He worked in Cleveland for over 20 years, and has worked in labs all over the world.


Again, a picture of my girls Sophie and Joy from the Immunology lab. Both are Master's students at night. School here is pay as you go (there's no such thing as student loans), so these two have to work during the day.


This is Leonard, also from molecular biology, posing in front of the lab's "new" ancient sequencing machine. If anyone has a sequencer made this century, I'm sure they'd appreciate it!
