IDRC (infectious disease research collaboration!) party

So maybe you got from my last post that Pras was here these last two weeks as well. He's an ID fellow at UCSF who is pretty much instrumental in me ever accomplishing anything. So it was good to have him here for work, but also because it was super fun! And he came with us to the IDRC work party!

Those responsible for experiments in the Feeney TOLAB!
This was supposed to be the Christmas party, but there was no money before Christmas for the Christmas party. So there was one in December but you had to pay for it, and no one liked that. So then IDRC came up with the money (I'm not supposed to know how!) and we had a second Christmas party. Let's call it a New Years party. And it was free. And it was at the Rock Hotel, which I think qualifies as the biggest venue in Tororo. There was a pool dangerously close to the dance floor.

I have the crazy eyes in this photo, but I'm mostly posting this so dad and Becky can see that I totally got some use out of this awesome hat.
More hat usage.
Our immunology study coordinator, Ann, won for best dressed! Totally deserved, too. She's too cute.
See? Happy to have Pras around.
Katie is stealing the spotlight...haha where my face at?
It was a fun night. The two free drinks were "over" very quickly and then more had to be emergently supplied. Totally worth it. IDRC should definitely make excuses to have more parties. Fo sho.
Immunology + some of parasitology + clinical lab? Really, just friends!



This was Wednesday night of what has to be our "best week evar" in Tororo. Claire et Jeremie Monday-Wednesday, IDRC party mid-week, and then....Mara and Devan show up in Tororo on Friday! I'll be posting about our weekend in Sipi tomorrow. Get excited.
