Happy Friday! This was a jam packed week for me; while summer physics can’t compare to the Orgo II/Biochem experience, there’s a lot of work, and assignments are due consistently each day.

Folks, a huge thank you for all of the kind comments on my grandmother’s passing. They are deeply appreciated. The service will mostly likely be the weekend after this upcoming one, and until then, I’m celebrating her long and rich life with good memories and thoughts. Thank you for all of the warmth you’ve been [...]
