  • October 2004, Newcomers to the lab (click to see picture)
  • Easter 2004 (click to see pictures)
    • Lab members and their families gathered at Lucia's house to celebrate Spring and Easter 2004! With us were Anna's parents from Italy and Elif's mother from Turkey. Leah, Timothy and Sasha, the youngest lab members, were quite successful at the Easter present hunt. We ate, listened to music, and had a good time. The first to depart left with presents of leftover lasagna. The last to leave were put on dish duty. We were all shocked by the amount of food left over--probably everyone wanted to stay light and energetic to get lots of research done!
  • October 2002, Museum of Science (click to see pictures)
    • To start the new academic year, we had a nice lunch at the Museum of Science. Great food and beautiful view. A very special day, we all had a good time.
  • May 2002, Vision Sciences Society (click to see picture)
    • Vision Sciences Society Conference--enjoying their success Scott, supported by Tammy, and Winfred. Lucia as photographer.
  • March 2002, Martin's Retirement Party (click to see pictures)
    • After almost 3 years as our software guru and Slovak ambassador, we celebrated Martin's retirement with a lab fiesta. Scott's pasta won the blue ribbon and everyone politely tried Rob's orange dessert. Martin's not so old, so there are still a few years left for a lucky future employer in his new home of Canada.
  • September 24, 2001 Lab Cruise (click to see pictures)
    • To foster scientific and social interactions within BRAVI, this year we combined the welcome back to school year and plans for continued hard and creative work with the celebration of Martin and Veronika's wedding, a farewell party to Laura, our best wishes to Jack and Brigitte for their wedding on September 29, and a celebration of Sergei's birthday with a river and Harbor sunset cruise. We had great appetizers--Mexican Fiesta and Mediterranean delights--fun music, cash bar, and good spirits.
  • Music and pasta 2001 (click to see pictures)
    • We all gathered at Lucia's house for a wonderful piano concert of Maestro CRISTOBAL (well, Cris to friends), and for wonderful pasta a la Stromboli served with red wine.
  • Thanksgiving 2000 (click to see pictures)
    • Lab guys and girls and friends of the lab celebrated a great Thanksgiving at Lucia's place! Assignments for food and work were decided a priori, while the fun and good eating happened spontaneously.
  • Stromboli 2000 (click to see pictures)
    • June 2000, Lucia, Sanjida, Martin and Winfred, together with some of our European research collaborators and a few friends of the lab, had a great week of play and work in Stromboli. Stromboli is a little Italian island, about 8 miles in diameter, part of the Aeolian islands archipelago. The unique thing about Stromboli is its active volcano (with spectacular eruptions every 15-20 minutes), the beautiful blue, clean ocean, the black volcanic beaches and, of course, us conquering the island.
