Up to 96 wells, enough for 96 individual immune systems, fit on a plate roughly the size of a deck of cards. From here, the next step is to toss a vaccine into the mix and watch the action unfold.

Hopefully, the student perspective that Sundquist’s appointment brings shall be the first step in resolving this over-reliance on mandatory leave as punishment, as well as other Ad Board shortcomings. Of course, Sundquist cannot change the Ad Board alone, and while we are confident in his abilities as a representative of student voice, we encourage the student body at large to take note...
