HOUSTON! 

Houston is very flat - but only geographically so. The metropolis is packed with action!! It offers an unimaginably incredible international culinary scene (I, for one, was jaw-dropped). Texas Medical Center, the largest medical and life science destination in the world. NASA. A short dash away from the beach. The first-time host of the World Table Tennis Championships (WTTC) in the US.  

First Halloween Pumpkin carving! 

A tradition I inherited from Duke University, and intend to carry on! 

Bubble tea!

Lab outings can not be completed without bubble tea...
