Happy birthday Caitlin P.!

The UW MSTP blog wishes a wonderful birthday to one of our beloved directors!  We hope your year is full of fun, conferences in exotic locales, and lots and lots of grant money.

Happy birthday Ben S.!

Hope you're having a wonderful day!  May your year be full of happiness, and may your stem cells only differentiate into the cell lineages you want them to differentiate into.
