  1. Glad to see you didn't drop Biochem! I bet Dr. D is pleased. Your project sounds like it's off to a great start. It also sounds like you're going to be a lot busier than I was the first week or two of the project. I just sat in the back of the research lab reading journal articles about HIV for a solid week and a half -- fun. Get ready for some late afternoons though, especially toward the end! Keep up the good work and enjoy it!
