The Torii Lab acquired extra lab space (Yes, Keiko's lab is getting bigger), but it did NOT come with any renovation money!!! Thank you so much for our mighty tech Shannon , who renovated and painted the whole lab PINK!! We also thank Lynn and Robert Goff for their enormous help during our "do-it-for-ourselves" lab renovation!! Robert built a beutiful lab bench from salvaged materials!!!
