Anne and Maxine holding a funfetti cake that has DNA in sprinkles along with some sad attempts at drawing M. tuberculosis and skeleton in icing. Funfetti is not the cake that Anne typically makes students but 2 of her students (including Maxine) are Funfetti aficionados. Basically, important life events are meant to be celebrated with cake (and bubbles which are not shown in the image).
Congrats to #ASU #SOLS graduate student Maxine McCarty who successfully defended her PhD proposal yesterday to advance to candidacy!!!
