Thanks for all the welcomes
Did the bike commute thing today. I was a little worried about the weather as it stormed quite a bit last night but it was a dry ride, just a little windy. Mondays are always tough becasue I need to lug my laptop, shoes and clothes to school for the week which adds up. I have a gym locker on campus and shower there after my morning leg which is a nice way to start the day. But the morning seem to be naked old men time. What is it with this? They don't even try to cover up while strutting allover the place. One elderly gentleman was actually hold his towel out at arms length while walking around. Plus our showers are the old style, were it's just a huge tiled room with numerous shower heads
I'm flipping buried in work at school for the next several weeks. I have a department seminar mid-Sept and I'm also working on an NIH training grant application (k99 for the science people) which is due Oct 1st. It's a huge application which would seriously set me up for the next 5 years into junior faculty. But it's super competitive and the science we do is not that sexy in the eyes of reviewers/public so... I'm also teaching a couple of classes (intro to drug development) at the beginning of the semester for my boss in addition to my regular experiments and lab work. Blech... Maybe I'll try to run with Sadie (our lab) tonight, she really like it and now that she's old enough (16 months) I don't have to worry about her quite so much. We really should walk/exercise them more but it's tough after a long day. We can get away with it becasue we have a large backyard that they can run around in.
