Yes it may break the high temperature today, but at least we have the start of college hockey. UNO Mavericks.

Well, I had a complaint lodged against me at my work due to a social media post from July. Had to be from a Twitter post and going back through I can assume which one since there are people looking for these posts. Fun to have an “ethics” complaint over a personal account.

Thanks @ketv7.bsky.social for the recognition.

Pretty good Saturday listen and Icarus (West Coast IPA). The song Singular Girl (demo) - “Talking to you girl is like long division”. Good lyric.

And now to the ‘00’s. My favorite band’s best album and best album side (of all time?).

I’m a product of the 80s and 90s music and grabbed this a couple weeks ago. Side 2 is simply awesome.

Our manuscript on GIRK1/2 activators is out. chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Pretty good day at Lumen Beer Co. with Paulie.

Thanks for this explanation.

That time of year again.

This is so sad. I was introduced to her music while in Pittsburgh listening to @wyep.bsky.social. Karen by Night was always my favorite.

Yet another bonehead decision. I have an R01 with a foreign subaward that is up for noncompetitive renewal in July. Hope this gets in before the October deadline.

Anyone have experience appealing an NIH grant that was terminated? There is a process, just curious if any successful. Or is it too soon to know?

Then this stupid MFer has been eating it by the ton.

Always a good day when I get to hang out with Paulie Walnuts. Lumen Beer Company., Omaha, NE.

Successful Nerd Nite Omaha. Fun chatting with everyone and sharing some stories on drug discovery. Nice see some of the PharmD students show up.

In support of the Nebraska Unicameral rejecting LB3 “winner-take-all” change to our electoral count, I’m proudly displaying this.

Happy National Beer day. Green Mask. Lumen Beer Co., Omaha, NE

The re-issue of this 1988 masterpiece just arrived in the mail.

If you are around Omaha next Tuesday, come on out for Nerd Nite. I’ll be talking about drugs, chemistry, funding, and who knows what else.

Dinner for my wife’s birthday at Ooh De Lally in Dundee. They work with formerly incarcerated individuals for training and the local college for Re-entry assistance program. Great mission and great food.

A Wilco kind of night.

NIH, FDA, and CDC being gutted. Talented researchers being let go for what? University’s like Harvard complying in advance as if that will placate the fascists. There is little hope if those that can, don’t.

30 years ago today. The first for one of the greatest bands.

Beautiful blend of country, punk, and rock.

After a week of travel, nice to be back to “normal”.

San Diego. Pliny the Elder.

Off to San Diego for #ACSSpring2025. A nice start with extra room on the flight. And then onto Airport time where it’s always 5:00.

Dinner music.

Second time within 7 months that we will have a multi-day power outage. First due to T-storms this summer and the blizzard today. To top it off, this streetlight across the street is openly mocking me.

🔜

A Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit kind of night.

March in the Midwest. 55° and sunny on Sunday, and a blizzard watch for Wednesday. Hanging with Paulie Walnuts.

Well, that’s a wrap on hockey this year. UNO took a couple on the chin this weekend giving up leads both nights to North Dakota. There’s always next year.

Yep, let’s let every idiot have a gun.

Gotta disagree with this. He had a choice and chose the one that sides with the wrong side.

They are shutting the government down as you sit there and do NOTHING. Well, not nothing, you voted for 6 more months of this. Such a failure of a senator.

Very nice work.

Hard fucking pass. Do not give these people a platform. You cannot debate people divorced from the truth. Pete, AOC and Jasmine Crockett are the future. Newsom is not.

Forced compliance is the goal. And even then, they’ll ultimately cut research.

Another Monolithic. Horse With No Name West Coast IPA while listening to Tim (The Replacements) and The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (Chappell Roan)

Wrestling Frenchies. Omaha, NE

Spaghetti Policy IPA. Monolithic Brewing. Omaha, NE

“You drive like you're wanted in four states” can have a couple meanings. Fast to avoid Johnny law, or slow as to not raise suspicion. Not sure, but a great lyric on 3 Sisters by Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) which is just a terrific album.

A pretty good listen. Never mind the dog’s wrestling.

Where better than to spend an early March weekend? Grand Forks, ND of course. Here to see some college hockey - UNO vs North Dakota - winner tonight gets home ice next weekend. Big 7-3 win for UNO, we’ll be watching next Friday. Thanks to the ND fans, very fun.

My study section CBP is posted on the Federal Register (03/06) and we got an email saying barring a something drastic (gov’t shutdown) that we’ll be meeting 03/31-04/01. Some hope.
