Honorary Team Members During the summer, we were joined by two [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axolotl Axolotls]. They are studied for their regenrative properties and praised for their constant smile. We built them a habitat in an aquarium tank with rocks and plants and fed them daily. Their presence in our workspaces added a touch of light to our basement laboratory.

Colloquially named "little guy"
