Lou Kohler Voinov

Role
Team coordinator, funniest and most humble member of the team

When we got caught using the personal autoclave machine of the lab with smelling (like vomit apparently) yeast medium. A strange guy wouldn’t let us leave and kept yelling at us. We couldn’t stop laughing about it for weeks.
