Abbie Smith is a graduate student studying the molecular and biochemical evolution of HIV within patients and within populations. She also studies epigenetic control of ERVs.
This past Tuesday a troupe of SciBlog readers met up in OKC for pizza, beer, and cookies!!
Ill leave it to readers to out themselves if they want (or email me to anonymize you!), but I had to put up a funny pic of Logan, my partner-in-crime from Dembskis infamous OU visit:
And a pic of the good sports at 'the other table' (we didnt have the room I thought we had reserved, so the group got broken up *sad* ), plus a crazy ranting atheist:
Some nice OESE folks sent home some pizza for poor Arnie. It was amazing how fast he went from 'poor baby who cant get up from bed' to 'OMFGPIZZAWANTWANTWANT!!!!'
Thanks for coming, guys!!! I had a ton of fun, and I hope you all did too!

Sorry to all of the humans, but the picture of Arnie going for the pizza is the best by sooooo far. Glad to hear (and see!) that he's feeling better!

That Arnie picture is very heart-warming, I'm glad he's back to gorging food!
And congrats for the 1,000,000th comments!

Dude!
Logan should've whipped out the adamantium on Dembski and gone berserker on his ass!

Watch out, Abbie! That beast is liable to EAT THE WHOLE PIZZA! 'Specially if it has turkey on it! Hide the children!

I missed the party. I forgot it was scheduled for this week. It looks like y'all had a good time. I'm so happy that Arnie is feeling well enough to gobble down some pizza. Look how big his eyes got! LOL
Hint...don't tell the vet you feed him people food. They might lecture you about how it will give him pancreatitis. I once told a vet that my yorkie loved dried blueberries and I never heard the end of it.

Lol. Should have paid more attention to camera, but I was too busy having fun.

Those are some HAPPY eyes on Arnie! :-)

Doesn't have quite the same ring to it as "over nine thousand", but maybe that's just me.

Glad to see Arnie enjoyed the pizza. Hope he is feeling better

That second Arnie pic is fantastic (and possibly needs a lolcaption).

I'm soooo sorry I didn't reserve the room!!!! I was totally thinking it was tonight and not last week. Please forgive me.
