Yesterday, I emailed Dongning, who I used to work with in my bioengineering lab over five years ago, and she replied with a super nice email. It brought a big smile to my face! And that's pretty hard to do when I'm post-call after 30 hours on the job...

"It is great fun to read your blog page with all the gorgeous funny pictures. I once looked at myself as a big fan of you. So you can imagine how good it feels to get an email from one of my idols."

Awww. Thanks Dongning! I feel like a movie star!!
