@AlexGuseman Bacon wrapped jalapenos?

@francesarnold Amazing, Frances. Endless innovation.

@KIAlbanese Congrats, Katherine! Awesome news!

@Pacers @indystar Read the room @pacers

[Eric Brustad @baconphile]

@C2_Cooper I second this opinion.

@AChemSynBio Way to go, Abhishek! Great recognition for your work. So happy to see it!

@ardemp Barry Sharpless.

Start off with a bang!

[Eric Brustad @baconphile]

@DonnaBlackmond This is amazing. I love this far, far too much. Much appreciated 👏

[Eric Brustad @baconphile]

@AlexGuseman Sounds like we get to get beers in a month then. Nice.

@CarterCritiques This seems a bit crazy even for me, Chris. I'm a Colts fan, and I want to protect Pittman! But I'm not sure how much Kazee could have done in that situation. I guess wait until after he catches it and just taps him down? How do you approach stopping a receiver laid out like that?

[Eric Brustad @baconphile]

@bkravitz This not surprising. The Pacers are not a really good team, not yet. They are a team on an upward slope. They play down to bad opponents, play harder against many good opponents. They show sparks of wonderful talent. But, Is it surprising they are still a very immature roster?

@j_wolfe26 @JoshEberley I don't disagree with you there at all. Tyrese definitely sold it. Just saying cheap shots go both ways and it's not an excuse to overreact over a ball.

[Eric Brustad @baconphile]

@AChemSynBio @cpsoni_74 Well this is a super clever idea. Nice work, Abhishek!

[Eric Brustad @baconphile]

@j_wolfe26 @JoshEberley Well, I'm glad Giannis went and apologized to Tyrese for Tyrese's flop then. How gentlemanly of him. And very sporting of the Bucks announcers to agree with refs on the foul, too.

@AlexGuseman @drstarbird Welcome to San Diego! LoL. My rent when I moved here was $800 a month more than my mortgage, insurance, and property taxes combined in N.C.

@LevinChem @ChemieJisoo @GloriusGroup @alecchristian14 @Merck I can't get enough of @LevinChem 's chemistry. Some of the most exciting stuff I've seen in years and it just keeps coming.

[Eric Brustad @baconphile]

@ChemicalBiology Maybe pair synthesis with sequencing? 50 % Caruthers, & 50 % Balasubramanian and Klenerman? They both rely on nucleoside chemistry on solid surfaces.

@Penn @NobelPrize This should be a moment of self-reflection @Penn and not a time to pat yourself on the back. Dr. Karikó enabled this work in spite of you, not because of you.
