Hmmm. Rajini Rao I know the kind of publications that come out of these protocols. Happy Holidays!
I am not really into christmas and am more of a festivus kinda guy but I’ve got to admit… This has to be the most original christmas tree i’ve ever come across! A true work of art and science which is the best kind of work there is. ^^ Congratz & happy festivus! :p
Koen De Paus , we’re a motley crew too, probably not one devout Christian in the whole lab..but that’s no excuse to stop the celebration..Happy Festivus to you too!
Is genius and religious tolerance directly proportional? yes it seems true 🙂 Happy holiday to all.
That is wonderful and Merry Christmas to you and all out there at the RaoLab Rajini Rao …big smiles
True spirit!
Awesome!
Hey Rajini…
