Ronning introduces the lab to mini golf

This spring’s lab outing was mini golf and sushi. Rajashree is a natural. Having never played and battling a huge deficit after my hole-in-one on the first hole, she made an epic comeback an missed winning by only 1 stroke. Well played Rajashree! The rest of the group had a great showing as well.

The solar eclipse was phenomenal in Omaha

I and many others on the UNMC campus took some time out of the day to witness the solar eclipse. I was lucky enough to find someone with a telescope and got this photo.

Toledo visit

It does not really relate to the Ronning lab at UNMC, but I made my first trip to Toledo since moving to UNMC in January 2020. It was great to see so many of my friends and former colleagues in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. It was a phenomenal visit.
