Watching the kensucky-A&M game, in College Station, TX.

ESPN just showed a fan with an "I still hate Laettner" shirt.

Suck it, dude.

There were a ton of them at the Final Four last year! They just don't forget and they aren't very nice! Rudest fans I've ever seen!

This morning however a friend of mine was tagged by the hostess of the super bowl he will be attending in a photo...of the BACON COOKIES she was making. BACON COOKIES. WHAT?

I weep with joy at another way to consume my beloved BACON. I await the arrival of the recipe.

BACON.

They're getting ready to apply for a huge grant, and it sounds as though funding is pretty much guaranteed. RoadRunner met with them on Thursday and learned that this work is going to be submitted to Nature: Medicine. It will be a follow-up to the paper that they've been invited to submit to New England Journal of Medicine. NEJM paper will be the clinical side; the Nature: Medicine paper will be the basic research side. I'll probably be a ways down the "et al." list, but I'll be there. Don't know how much I can say about the project other than that it's way cool and beyond exciting.

The leader of the MD Anderson part of the group is giving a seminar for our department this coming Friday over this work. Suffice it to say that this guy's work is VERY impressive. He's making some serious strides in finding a cure for glioblastoma. I'm honored to be a part of the project. I don't know if he'll talk about any of the preliminary data for his grant, or if all of it will be the clinical stuff. Think it would help me politically if I'm at least mentioned in the acknowledgments at the end of his talk.

All of this goes a long way toward making up for being left off the big breast cancer project by PHB. This is probably a better project than that one, truth be told. If this work really does make it to Nature: Medicine, and I believe it's big enough to end up there, I will be sorely tempted to send PHB a copy of the paper. Accompanying it will be a note that thanks him for giving me the necessary skills to make a contribution to such a valuable project. I'm honest enough to admit that it's true and give credit where it's due, but the snark in me will want to ask him where NuBarbie is on the learning curve. I think all of you know enough about the history to understand.

I am sooooo excited for you! I have treated people with GBM after my former mother-in-law died from the hideous disease. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this very important work. You rock!! xoxoxo

I'm one of the Pips on this one, and I'm happy to be one of the backup singers. I will say, though, it's pretty darn cool to work on something where you know that what you're doing can make a difference for the clinicians. We might be able to help the clinicians understand what's happening with their treatment protocol at the biochemical level. So, so cool.

As you may recall, my old buddy Pushy PI once told me that I was just a chemist and therefore could not understand the importance of his work. I would now officially like to issue him a . This work is far more important than anything that he and The Minion are falsifying results on.
