Um yeah. So there I am on the A train, heading home from a work at about 8:30pm, minding my own business reading Vogue (Michelle Obama!). At about 168th Street I caught a whiff of smoke. I looked up and what did I see? Well, thanks to my stealthy photog skillz you can see for yourself.

Yup, that's right. Homeboy toooootally smoking a spliff on a reasonably crowded train. Not a care in the world. The most special moment was when the sufficiently happy houred girl next to him convinced him to share...

and proceeded to pass it around to all her buddies.

Only in NYC.
Cancer molecular epidemiology (focus on breast cancer and tumour immunology) :D
AND WOW. MSK! Woohoo!
I sure did hear about that. People love to give us money for some reason. I didn't read up on the details...since I don't actually work at Weill Cornell I am a bit out of the loop.
My lab is at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, even though my degree will be granted through Cornell.
What are you piling higher and deeper in?
Wow - small trivia. Did you know that your school has just received the LARGEST endowment (of its kind) anywhere in the world for initiating a K9 cancer biology/molecular epidemiology cohort?
Also, your school holds the future of the corn genome in its hands (or claws - hoever you choose to look at it. I prefer hands.) :)
Congratulations on the good news. My committee is meeting next month - but I am not even close to graduating.
Aw, thanks lilho. I hope you come visit us soooooooooon.
i love drunk phd scientists!
Congrats on the martini supplies!
The thesis thingie is nice too.
Grats.
Biochemistry and Structural Biology. Basically I use really expensive and dangerous instruments to try to get a picture of proteins at atomic resolution. Nerd-tastic.
I'm at Cornell. The biomedical PhD stuff is in Manhattan, not Ithaca.
Jessica, ever since we got martini making supplies at home I've had at least one per night. Dangerous.
What is your field of focus? and NYU?
I can't wait to booze it up (mostly cause I miss you ladiez, but also because I'll start to have the DTs if I don't drink soon)!
