Water and sugar; from the sugar cubes perspective, it is a kind of dangerous situation...

We were very lucky to have a research assistant like her. This cartoon is devoted to her, to Beth!
We wish her the best in her new path...and Duke is very lucky to have her.
Thanks for everything!

Human Genetics & Genomics, Gordon Research Conference Newport, RI

I will attend "Human Genetics & Genomics" conference (Gordon Research Conference) at Newport, RI. 

Commonly known as the Newport Bridge connects the city of Newport on Aquidneck and the town of Jamestown on Connecticut island is a beatiful bridge especially in the summer time.

Every time I cross from the Newport Bridge, it is a joyful experience, watching the boats and the great blue sky. This time it is an inspiration for this cartoon too. 

Next week, because of the conference I will keep passing this bridge several times...I will try to take cartoonistic :) notes besides scientific notes which may be the source of new inspirational cartoons.

High in sugar: "You are so sweet"

The famous movie "Usual Suspects" and the famous scene is below.
