Thank you for taking the time to help with other data collections in the lab. They couldn't have been done without you (literally). More importantly, thanks for bringing the energy to the lab during the quiet days.

Shout out to our wonderful MRT Anne in the Bone Lab! She is so hardworking, conscientious and kind - all the right qualities to help keep appointments and scans running like a smooth machine for MoJo. Thanks for all you do Anne - it does not go unnoticed.

Yvonne, the glue that binds the team and institute together, and the friendly face that knows everyone from students to staff and faculty members. Her historical knowledge about the institute is like a treasure trove of wisdom, guiding us through discussions. Yet, there's more to Yvonne than her institutional insights. Her talent for selecting the finest snacks ensures that our team is not only well-fed but also in high spirits. Yvonne's warm and approachable nature makes every interaction a pleasure, making her an invaluable member of our team.

Haiyan is a great teammate - she is kind, approachable, and dependable. She always lends a helping hand to process samples and is a fantastic mentor to the graduate students in the lab. Her hard work has not gone unnoticed and is the go-to person for everyone. Haiyan's charismatic personality and positive attitude are a pleasure to be around. Thanks for being so wonderful!

Karin, it has almost been a year! Time goes fast when you are having fun. You help to make our work enjoyable. Your kindness has a way of making each one of us feel supported and valued. You have an amazing ability to get things done quickly and accurately, all with a smile on your face. Karin, you are also very good at eating snacks. Especially popcorn. We're so lucky to have you as our fearless leader. Here's to another year of success and popcorn!

Joshua is the kind of teammate who makes you believe in the magic of teamwork. Joshua not only excels in his biomechanics role but also sprinkles kindness wherever he goes, like biomechanically-engineered fairy dust. With a can-do attitude, he not only excels in his role as biomechanics technician but extends a helping hand wherever it's needed, going beyond the call of duty. And when it's time to put on our thinking caps, his ideas flow like a well-oiled machine. Thank you for being part of our team, Joshua!

While still a relatively new member of McCaig, Joshua has already made a high mark on the community. He's present at every event and greets you with a warm smile making you fell welcomed. In the lab, you can also drop in for great chats with him to have a good break in the day and as such, I'm always learning something new when I stop by the biomechanics lab. I can even come to Joshua with a weird piece of equipment and he'll go out of his way to find special pieces and attachments for me. Keep doing you and thank you for everything that you've done for me and McCaig!

I could not imagine the lab without Oyinda's presence. Her smile, laugh, and random noises throughout the day always put me in a better mood and makes the lab a more enjoyable place to work. Even though she jokingly says no a lot, Oyinda is always there to look our for us and help us if we need it. We are lucky to have her (and her random songs) in the lab. Thank you Oyinda for being a shining star and the biggest minion fan I know. Here's to singing more YMCA as we get our lab work done.

Only a year at the lab but it feels like more! Your humor and positive attitude make this lab an amazing place to work in. It's no mystery as to why students want to come back to work with you. Thanks for being an incredible PI and friend.

Steph, our exceptional communications specialist, is a source of creativity and brilliant ideas. She's always around and every-ready to lend a helping hand. Beyond her professional prowess, Steph is a lunchtime workout enthusiast, motivating her teammates to get moving. Her infectious, bubbly personality brings an uplifting energy to our team. And Let's not forget, she's the undisputed champion when it comes to tasting, or rather devouring, all the cheese at our events. Steph, thank you for the fun and enthusiasm you bring to our institute.
