@DamonLisch For me it was all the recruiting visit. Purdue Biochemistry knocked it out of the park and I had a very poor experience at another University. Made it an easy decision. I felt like I could spend 5+ years of my life here after the visit.

Drove through multiple states today. I see we have no problem labeling streets as “Dr.”

One silver lining of the pandemic is that my family was able to attend a virtual departmental seminar I gave today.

Not sure if I should feel happy I was able to write my own script to generate Manhattan plots, or feel very foolish that I failed to realize a function in R already exists...
