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.”
Roleplaying Party
While I was in Colorado last weekend for the wedding of some good friends, I had a chance to engage in my most favorite hobby– Tabletop pen-and-paper roleplaying, or RPGing as the cool kids call it. Actually, I’m under the impression they refer to it as “r00l p7AyN, suXXoRZ”, but I never liked the cool kids anyway. Read on for pictures!
Roleplaying games, for those who don’t know, are a little like improvisational theatre, a little like playing “Cops and Robbers”, a little like collaborative stroytelling, and a LOT like fun. They are almost certainly NOT the devil-worshipping inspiring terrors that they were accused of being (well, once in the 80s, and it’s become a community in-joke). Then again, looking at my glowing red eyes in this picture of my friends and I roleplaying, you have to wonder…
Here’s another pice picture of us playing:
Next up, we have some pictures of us all hanging out earlier in the day.
Looks like fun, eh?
