In ancient Greece, the asclepion was a healing temple dedicated to Asclepius, the God of Medicine. Asclepius learned the art of surgery from the centaur Chiron and had the ability to raise the dead. The Rod of Asclepius is a roughhewn branch entwined with a single serpent.

Waterfall
Iguazu Falls at the border of Argentina and Brazil, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Summer 2005.
Here's an old quote by Alex Penn. We went to the same high school and college, and he is now in the UCSF-Berkeley JMP (MD-masters) program.
"Bio is so stressful. I think I need some helicase to unwind or some topoisomerase to loosen up. We can go over the material on a cell phone. Seriously, if this were standup comedy, the crowd would be like an amine: a leaving group. Wow, I think I'm quite the comedian. Someone call the lac, I need a promoter."
haha, those are some bad puns. I've inflicted my share of bad jokes on my biochem class this summer (TAing it). I taught transcription and remembering the 5'->3' correction as "put the thang down, flip it and reverse it" (Missy Elliot song).
