Dear Erin,
Thank you so much for being the awesome lab manager and lovely human being you are. It is never easy to herd cats; you do it so well you make it look too easy.
I appreciate how much you care about everyone's well-being and experience. Your organization skills, attention to detail, and your immense empathy have made a huge difference in our lab operation and in my own experience.
I am so fortunate to have worked with you on multiple projects and can't wait for our future science adventures. Your analytical insights and pointed questions are the best part of all of our scientific discussions.
Thank you for being such an awesome colleague and for making our lab a happy, super organized place to do the best scientific and clinical research anyone can dream of. You're the best!

Dear Erin,

How lucky we are to have a lab manager and colleague like you! You light up the room with your smile and grace and you are always so helpful, cheerful, and kind!! On top of that, you somehow keep everything organized and running smoothly, even though you are constantly bombarded with tasks! Moreover, you are a brilliant scientist and so very humble! You are truly one of a kind and we are so fortunate. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and can't wait to see you in 2022!

Dear Erin,

I am so grateful to be your colleague - and can't thank you enough for bringing your passion for clinical research, your keen chemical and quantitative skills, and your phenomenal attention to detail to our group.

You have done amazing science (and every day are doing ever more exciting work), have single handedly turned our clinical research operation into a sustainable and reliable program, and are a friend and colleague to so many in the lab.

You are an absolute super star - and I am very lucky to have the chance to work with you. Thank you for all that you do - and for always working hard to help us all do the best science that we can.

Hopefully, patients down the road will be better because of it. I feel confident that they will be.

Warmly,
Ami

Due to how similar our names are, I'm very aware of how frequently you are needed and how essential you are! Thank you for making the lab a wonderful place. I'm so happy to spend every day with such an awesome group that does amazing work and has a great time together, and very thankful for everything you do to make it all happen.  -Aaron

Thank you for everything you do to keep the lab running smoothly! We all appreciate you so much. Not only do you work incredibly hard, but you also set a warm and positive and inclusive atmosphere in the lab. Congrats on your marathon. You are so impressive in so many aspects! Happy Holidays! I hope you have a restful break.

Erin, I often wonder how you manage to balance research with all that comes with being lab manager (from dealing with our supply crises to cleaning the lab up) and with being a generally happy supportive colleague. It really makes our lives so much easier to have such a responsive, organized, and capable lab manager. That said, I still haven't figured out how you do it! Thanks for everything!

Erin, I'm so glad that we have you around! You singlehandedly manage so much of our nonsense with a level of grace that I didn't think was possible. It's absolutely mind-blowing to me that you are able to juggle as much as you do, and we really don't recognize you enough. It makes my day every time you agree to go on a coffee run with me (aka the only kind of run we'll ever do together). You're such a supportive and reliable colleague, and we're lucky to have you. Here's to many more morning walks and afternoon chats, and I owe you an almond milk mocha :)

Erin, thank you for being such a fantastic lab manager! You make all of our lives easier and I'm so impressed with your organization and communication skills. You're an amazing colleague and I'm so excited to work with you on the knockouts. You are a great person and a great scientist, and you encourage us all to be better at both. The care you have for all of us and your dedication to your work is incredible. Thank you for being you!

Hey Erin! Thank you so much for being both an awesome, attentive, and generous lab manager, but also being a great example to folks new in the lab (like myself) for being the best possible lab citizen. It is extremely impressive how you manage so much in lab and keep us all well-taken-care-of while also being an amazing scientist and pursuing medicine. We're all super lucky to have you around!! Thank you!

We are so grateful for all the amazing things you do for the people in (and outside of) the lab. We love being a part of your team and the joy that you bring to work.

I am so appreciative of everything you do for all of us in lab. From helping me get set up with RedCap to literally finding everything in lab, you have made the transition into the lab so seamless and wonderful. I couldn't have gotten the benchmarking study started without your insight on clinical sample collection! On top of that, you have been so helpful in getting the TC room set up, organized and creating a game plan for us TC folks to do our work the most effectively and cleanly. I am so grateful to you and your kindness. So fortunate to work with you! Can't wait to cheer you on at the Big Sur relay race and many more :)

Erin!! You've done an amazing job managing all the moving parts to keep the lab functioning! Really, it's a lot to handle and you're killing it. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to make sure I took over the CRC role seamlessly! You're truly an amazing person outside of your role as lab manager. - Gabriella

Erin,

I have actually bragged to some of my science friends as to how great of a lab manager you are. I cannot over emphasize how your attention to detail and organizational skills makes all of our lives easier and more productive. I always know that if I ever need help finding a product (literally you found the best oven and stir plates with mostly unhelpful descriptions of what was needed) or troubleshooting a piece of equipment (hello anaerobic chamber), that I can always turn to you for help. But most importantly, you are also an incredibly kind, talented, and generous person. We are also so fortunate to work with you.

Dear Erin,

Thanks so much for being an AMAZING lab manager, collaborator and colleague. You have singly made my life better and improved my lab experience in so many ways.

From your role as a lab manager, I am grateful for your thoughts and efforts to organize and streamline the lab. This has ranged from our use of time to space and reagents. I particularly appreciate that many of these efforts may have felt like a grind at your end, but have significantly improved the quality of our work experience and productivity. I am also comforted by your keen attention to lab safety and regular ordering of items. I am excited for a clutter free Quartzy as well. Finally, I think you are a key thread in the fabric of our lab, constantly promoting camaraderie and wellbeing.

I am grateful to be able to work with you and for your support!
