The emergence of the COVID-19 vaccines brought with it the hope of being able to safely socialize in-person with our friends and loved ones again. The resilient Moss community was able to return to some in-person activities in the Fall of 2021, including hosting the first lab Halloween party since 2019!<\/p>\n<p>During this rollercoaster of a year, 14 students successfully defended their MLML theses virtually via Zoom.
