Reflections are look into the past. Maybe just a few femtoseconds depending on the distance from the object and the observer, but the past nonetheless.

A fellow in the lab who has been leading the natural killer cell therapy projects is heading off to do a clinical fellowship in Immune Cell Therapy. He gave me a parting gift that he made from a microscope he bought on eBay. Very cool and creative gift.

This mama duck has her wings full. Nine, not so little ducklings.

Mamma and her little ducklings paid the research building a visit today.

Out pond fishing last week with my son. Skunked him 7-0. Had a good time watching some sunfish defend their spawn beds. Such bloviating behavior from these little guys.😁

Water reflecting
The days last photons of light
Until tomorrow

This is for all my science followers out there, since many of the others won’t really get it, w/o a backstory. Just know, a certain company’s antibodies really SUCK! We all know it, but continue to get lured in like Charlie Brown kicking the football that Lucy is holding.

Had a nice leisurely 3.6 mile stroll around Lake Winona earlier this week with the Mrs. Here’s an up close and personal shot of Sugar Loaf, an outcropping on the bluff that can be seen in the far distance of the first photo.

Winona, MN received Cherry Blossom Trees from it’s sister city — Misato, Japan 13 years ago, which they planted around Lake Winona. They were in nearly full bloom today. #Photography

Here’s a scanning electron microscopy image of a cytotoxic CD8 T cell scanning a tumor cell. Note the lammelipodial filamentous actin-rich protrusion beginning to envelope the tumor cell. My group has identified dozens of proteins involved in this critical process required for cell killing. 🧪

My lab has had a long-standing interest in uncovering the mechanisms by which natural killer cells deliver the ‘lethal’ hit to tumor cells. We use a lot of immunofluorecence microscopy to examine the various stages of killing. Sometimes interesting images emerge, such as this acorn image below. 🧪

You got a pretty mouth.

Went for a walk with the pup. Ended up at the old IBM campus. Feels sort of apocalyptic, now that no one is here.

Heading out from work late last night and took a quick photo of the building I work in. Love it. Hate it. It’s interesting, that’s for sure. #Photography

The nice thing about Saturdays at the office/lab, is that there are no meetings and you can actually get some stuff done. Now where did they put those reagents I need for this experiment? Anyone? Anyone?
