The Kienzler lab took a break from the bench for a day of science, history, and good food in New Haven. We spent the afternoon exploring the recently renovated Yale Peabody Museum, where we took in fascinating exhibits ranging from ancient fossils to Indigenous artifacts and biodiversity displays.

After soaking in the natural history, we made our way to the legendary Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana to share laughs and classic New Haven-style pizza. It was a great day to connect outside the lab and appreciate both the scientific and culinary heritage of the area.
