Yes! #CoffeeWithChris achievement unlocked! Was great to catch up Chris. Hope I can race you next year πŸ˜‚
Fun to catch up with @pellinglab today as he was in #yyz - chatted science, the lab reduce-reuse-recycle mantra, and marathoning - well done on @chicagomarathon and here’s hoping we connect for @berlinmarathonE next year (I already gave him my recommendation for hotel …)

After 15 years of hoarding old electronic junk β€œI might need one day” it has become necessary to purge. I just know that tomorrow I’m going to need something 😭 To all the other cheapskate hoarder scientists out there … I’m Sorry. I’ll do better next time.

Another thing we’re thankful for this year? Asparagus. Not just because it's delicious, but because biophysicist @pellinglab figured out how to turn asparagus into HUMAN cells!
