While chatting with a colleague at RNACon, I noticed over his shoulder someone enthusiastically hating on locked nucleic acid technology. It only took a moment for me to recognize the naysayer as a friend from the deep past of high school – Hytham.
Several hours later, after ditching the final Bay Area RNA Club talks, I was drunk with Hytham and his coworkers on the rooftop of their biotech company. Gertrude (one such coworker) harnessed some Chinese New Year magic to whip up paper floating lanterns, which we torched and set to sail high above the Bay (except for one, which crashed into the roof of a neighboring / competing biotech company – but you didn’t hear that from me).
Still having much catching up to do, Hytham and I escaped to the Dogpatch to dine on funghi pizza at Piccino, a delicious restaurant with accommodating staff and perfectly proportioned entrees (despite what others may say, Tiffani).

Hello, greetings, and welcome. Welcome to the Quanny Tumblog.
I'm a student at MIT in Bioengineering a Ph.D. student at Stanford in Bioengineering. And though I may have made a terrible life choice, I occasionally have fun. This Tumblog is my attempt to catalog, collect, and curate all of those fun moments, since it's only a matter of time before my memory goes.
You can contact me at jjq[at]stanford[dot]edu or befriend me on Facebook, if you so fancy.
