Four postdoctoral researchers in Dario Alessi's lab have between them managed to produce four babies in recent months. Jeremy Nichols started the trend when his wife Jenny gave birth to Ainsley Ellen on the 31st October (Halloween) last year. Ainsley was swiftly followed by Ciaran Richardson's daughter Úna on the 25th November, Miratul Muqit's son Marwan on Christmas Day and finally (so far) Nic Dzamko's son Ashton Tay who made his appearance on the 27th of January, missing his daddy's native Australia Day (26 Jan) celebrations by only one day.
