Just wanted to share that my first first-author paper is now online! In the journal Stem Cells and Development, here’s my paper on “Roles of Integrins in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Growth on Matrigel and Vitronectin.”

Healthy Junk Food?

Santa Barbara Gaming!
Two of the players in our weekly roleplaying sessions have left town now… and then there were five. So, I’m starting to organize efforts to find new gamers in my area to join us. The end result?
Santa Barbara Gaming. A resource to help SB region gamers network and find each other, with a mailing list and such.

Wasting Time, Lesson Two

Free Rice
Okay, I’ll admit that it’s entirely possible that I am the last person to learn about this website*, but it’s really addictive.
