Ronning Lab Dinner

It has been a while since the lab had a get together. I decided to host a gathering at home. It was a fun night of food and Texas Hold’Em.

Julien Roche Seminar

Julien gave a phenomenal seminar about his extreme-pressure NMR studies to the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department. Thanks for taking the time to visit us Julien and I am looking forward to seeing what high-pressure NME can tell us about our own protein systems.

The Midwest Regional ACS meeting was held at Creighton University.

Thanks to Creighton and the ACS for all of their work and support for this conference. Dr. Luis Marky and I coordinated a session focused on translating basic research into new drug therapies. It was a great couple of days. Finally, thank you to the speakers of the session for their great work and presentations.

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.
