Lab Move 2019

Congraulations to everyone on successfully moving the lab from 3322 and 3323 to 2206! This move allows us to reorganize and optimze our workflow, and it puts us closer to the autoclave and fluorimeter currently found in the Curie Lab. Moving was a lot of work, but hopefully the results will be increased productivity and a more cohesive workspace.
