If you looked at this blog recently, you might think I've done nary a thing related to photos in the past month. That's not true, of course, but non-photo things (namely, pre-med classes) make the consistent updates a little more difficult. When you're thinking of elimination reactions and chirality of molecules and electromagnetism and organ systems and
Le Chatelier's principle in a successful attempt (so far!) to get A's, keeping up a blog becomes a secondary priority.
But have no fear: an update is here! This update includes some spring break activities, as well as some work for The Star. Enjoy, and I hope to see you again before May 5!

I've been working in the zebrafish lab at IUPUI under Dr. James Marrs for at least five months now, so discovery of my usefulness as a photo guy was bound to happen eventually. It did, before spring break, and so I took portraits of everyone in the lab. This is the group photo we took at the end of the day (not everyone is in it). I'm the goofball with window light shining all over his glasses.

My first stop on spring break was my brother's place in St. Louis. He's in law school there, and he dragged me to an alumni event for his alma mater, Wabash College. They grow good people there (yes, I'm biased), and they treat people to a good show of a few songs from their glee club.

After the weekend in St. Louis (and spending Sunday night watching Cosmos!), I drove to Bloomington for two days of filming. Leslie, a theatre friend from IU, wanted to make a short film to show off her acting and directing chops, so out of a desire for fun, support of a friend, and a new experience, I recorded the audio. Most of filming involved me holding a boom mic, but I snuck in some production photos.

I spent one healthy day and one sick day at home in Indianapolis before the final leg of my spring break fun: Chicago! Friends from Madrid study abroad got together, and we took a walk through the Lincoln Park Zoo. We saw a bully of a cow...

...and the small crocodilian Caiman sclerops.

I spent Saturday night in my friend's apartment, which affords a great southward view of Chicago. The late-afternoon view was quite grand...

...but it guaranteed me an expansive view of something I don't want to see on the morning of March 23: snow. (Most of it melted quickly.) After a surprise visit to a good friend and dinner with my sister in between Chicago and South Bend, I headed home for a return to books, formulae, and furious note-taking.

For those of you interested in organic chemistry, this depicts a second-order elimination reaction between 1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane and sodium ethoxide. For those of you not interested or unable to comprehend, you're missing out. To people willing to do the work of figuring out how molecules go together and break apart, organic chemistry is fascinating.
