About the Lab

Lab Culture

For the Love of Science & Worms

Just as development is a sum of a parts list, our lab will be a representation of all our team members. We want to hear everyone’s ideas—no questions too small or irrelevant.

Location

Philadelphia, PA:
A City of Innovation and Rich History

We <3 Philly! It’s a city that offers something for everyone. Here are some of our lab member’s hobbies to give you a taste of what you can do in the city:

Running/biking on the  Schuylkill River Trail (SRT): The SRT extends for 120 miles through the heart of the city. Its perfect for half/full marathon training (scenic yet flat-ish trail with several water fountains), picnics (lots of covered lawn areas—perfect for a lazy day of data analysis) and hosts a variety of work out classes (perfectly-synced yoga poses are a sight to behold) and pop-up beer gardens. 

Hiking in the Wissahickon: Wissahickon Valley Park has multiple hiking and biking trails that are particularly beautiful in the fall. This huge park system is a hidden gem that’s right in the middle of the city.

Food: Priya’s favorite restaurant is a neighborhood Mexican joint called Los Camarades. Their guac and meatless nachos are fantastic!
