Brandon and Corey have both graduated from the University of Arizona. I flew into Phoenix Friday night, took part in a classic In N’ Out scarf-fest with Marty, and then left for Tucson early Saturday morning with Marygrace to join the graduation festivities. After the ceremony, we had the usual picture session with family and [...]

Some of you may wonder what exactly we do in the Carmichael lab… well, aside from the usual neural repair and stem cell research, we also have time to fool around in the -20 degree walk-in freezer. Just last week, Ivonne noticed that a leaky pipe had led to the formation of a giant 5 [...]

The Day After Tomorrow opens the day after tomorrow. I’m sorry, but I simply had to do that. Also, note the new icon featuring Seth and I on the eve of this year’s second Neuroscience recruitment weekend. Man, there is nothing like a good Bulletproof Monk pose to liven my afternoon! * Brian/Josh Quote of [...]

Everything that has a beginning has an end… The Matrix Trilogy, Friends, puberty, the 80′s, Mr. Lambrose’s Lunch-time Sports, the fabulous run of the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” commercials.

Today, for the 24th time, we celebrate Pejman’s birthday (yes, I understand that “we” didn’t collectively know Pejman until like 8th grade, thus prohibiting us from celebrating the previous birthdays)!. There are many things to say about Pejman. Nice, funny, smart, yadda yadda yadda. What we are really talking about is a man driven by [...]
