Happy Thanksgiving to the entire Chundawat lab team! As we take a moment away from our recalcitrant biomass, robust enzymes, and complex carbohydrates, I want to celebrate the incredible work and camaraderie that define this lab.This year, may your thanksgiving gatherings with family and friends be as untangled as lignin-free fibers, your conversations as rich as glycan diversity, and your gratitude as abundant as the reducing ends we keep generating with our hydrolytic enzymes.
Thank you for your dedication to unraveling the mysteries of glycans, CAZymes, and the beautiful complexity that they create in the glyco-world. Your curiosity and persistence continue to build the kind of strong, interconnected network of glycoscientists that even hemicellulose would admire.
Wishing you a thanksgiving holiday full of well-controlled reactions, high-yield relaxation, and family time with minimal sample degradation.
Here’s to more breakthroughs, more collaborative bonds (noncovalent or otherwise), and a festive season sweeter than any oligosaccharide.
