I’m off to Duke University today to visit the lab of Homme Hellinga. Homme has this cool program called “Dezymer” that can be used to computationally design new binding proteins and enzymes. This is really cool stuff, and I’m super excited about it. If you want the nitty-gritty technical details, see this paper in Nature or this one that just came out in Science. For anyone keeping score at home, these are the top journals in biology if not all of science. It’s a big deal.

Caroline and I got engaged a couple of months ago. Our official wedding websites are at The Knot and The Wedding Channel. You can see a (blurry) picture of her ring on the phone-blog and our engagement pictures here.
