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 hereβs hoping we connect for @berlinmarathonE next year (I already gave him my recommendation for hotel β¦)
After 15 years of hoarding old electronic junk βI might need one dayβ it has become necessary to purge. I just know that tomorrow Iβm going to need something π
To all the other cheapskate hoarder scientists out there β¦ Iβm Sorry. Iβll do better next time.

Another thing weβre thankful for this year?

Not just because it's delicious, but because biophysicist @pellinglab figured out how to turn asparagus into HUMAN cells!
