The Bower/Hirsch Lab started a tradition this year – each member of the lab picked eight of their top songs to face off in a March-madness style “battle of the bands”!!! Winners were determined by the votes from lab members on a weekly basis. Congratulations to  Elton John’s “Your Song” which clinched the championship title!!!
