dr. reba’s custom mortarboard, originally uploaded by reidspice.

reba became a doctor last weekend, complete with hood and PhD and a disturbingly technical lecture on the behavior of kv7 proteins. i’m not going to pretend i understood much of the lecture but it was very impressive and interesting to learn a bit more about exactly what she’s been up to for the past few years. i actually felt a bit less nerdy after spending an hour listening to microbiology lingo sail over my head.
