I texted him this morning that I didn’t blow anything up or set anything on fire while I was in the lab! #PIinthelab

I rebuilt the uhplc-ms quat pump tonight with a student. I was trying to take the load off our wonderful and overworked technician during this tough week. I am quite proud that nothing blew up and I didn’t make more work for him.

It’s a war zone out there: national guard, multiple urban search team headquarters, fema tents, showers, laundry, bathrooms, world central kitchen in the park by my house, work had an electrical fire this morning, friends lost everything. And yet, we got lucky, again.

I can’t take much of this fiasco, but as far as I can tell, it’s a lot like watching righteous gemstones.

A few gifts from the kiln gods. Now, to get a few manuscripts out the door!

TODAY!! Join us for Imogen’s dissertation defense at 2 pm EST. It will be an awesome ride through the Holocene and Miocene! teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-joi...
