@TheGarLab: Thanks for the video tour of the lab! We all enjoyed it.
Many thanks to Dr. Solomon David, the Gar Lab, and @OKWildlifeDept for putting on Gar Week 2025!

Gmorning.
Life’s a marathon, not a sprint!
But we don’t know when the marathon ends!

Intermittent sprints?
Pace yourself! Hydrate!
You look cute in the shorts!
Let’s go!
