Graduate students Colin, Ken, and Emily and post-doc Solen accompanied Professor York to the 6th Nucleic Acids Conference in the Bahamas, hosted by Fusion. Solen gave a fascinating talk on her latest work with DNAzyme, while Colin, Ken, and Emily presented their latest work on their ribozymes. Somehow between all the interesting talks and insightful conversations, the York group managed to get away for a short bit for some much-needed scuba diving! What better way to relieve some stress than to go shark-diving?!

We are thankful for the wonderful people who helped put this conference together and look forward to future collaborations with several of the other attendees. For more pictures, check out some of the images from the conference here.
