Last week the Samuels lab got together to plan and carve another great entry in the annual
Botany Department Pumpkin Carving Contest. The next day, our pumpkin came out on top, once again giving us possession of the
Cucurbita Carver's Cup.

Our double-decker
a-maize-ing pumpkin was a tribute to the
monocot vascular bundle, and the
Edvard Munch painting The Scream.
