*LORRE 40^th Anniversary Celebration Preparation Highlights* ** Thank you to everyone who is helping with LORRE's coming celebration. In particular, the mayors *Raymond Red Corn, Pablo Vega, Petr Vozka, Antonio Carlos Freitas dos Santos, Elena A Robles Molina, Emma Brace, Samira Fatemi, Robert Binkley and Jessica L Zuponcic.* They have been active, responsible, and are doing a great job. We all know that every student has important projects and is very busy. Many of they are working in the lab at nights and on weekends, but when LORRE needs help, they don’t hesitate to give their time. *Justin Couetil*had an eye operation, but refused to take a rest, and helped us install the new Biological Safety Cabinet through ThermoFisher. *Mariane Molina Buffo*is a PhD student and visiting scholar. She just arrived in LORRE, but has already put in a great effort towards cleaning and organizing the labs. She collated the waste materials of Lab #252, and cleaned glassware in Lab #233 throughout the entire week. We want to thank Mariane for working hard as a new member of the LORRE team. LORRE is a place to cultivate many talents. You all, in addition to being high-tech researchers, display great character and are willing to share valuable time and effort in our collective activities. Such caring and intelligent people will contribute to society in the future. LORRE's Mayors are a touchpoint of responsibility, but all of us bear the burden of maintaining a safe and efficient workspace. Thank you all for your care and help. It is very close to the 40th anniversary of LORRE. Let us continue being attentive in our efforts. ·*5/14/2018*–All LORRE.
