I am what survives if it's slain - Zack Hemsey

Yesterday I met Ivan Izquierdo, a prominent neuroscientist in the area of memory, during my first day at my new internship at a university hospital. The guy is a pioneer, and made many very important contributions to the field. The research group was celebrating his 80th birthday. 

I was a little starstruck.  :whirly:

I hope I didn't stare too much. :notsure: Yeah.

And now we wait...

But how long?
Two weeks isn't the thing.
In need of a topic I asked my old dad how long?
He said seven weeks, but he just did sugar.
You need multiple fermenters, get yourself,
get yourself a supply, six months, a year+
and grolsch bottles, no they are'nt manly at all
There's always stuff for sale, livers given in,
Given it up for someone whose moving in
It's a buyers market, is the beer market.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I missed this -- but that is so cool.  And I'm sure he's used to people staring.

Quote from: G85But at the "plastic vat in the basement" level you let people have a glass, and if they ask for another it is good.

If they make it home on their feet, it's a bloody miracle.
Yeah. Measured the stuff to 7% ABV.

Know what you mean, I wrote to Jean Auel about her books, with one minor criticism. She replied personally and accepted my point. This was well before Fb or fan sites etc., stll got the letter somewhere I think.

She's not that well-known. The facebook fan-page has around 1,900 members. She does visit the page on a fairly regular basis. Yet it is still a thrill.
