Scandinavia Bound
One of my really great friends, Ashley, is studying at the Copenhagen Business School in Copenhagen, Denmark. Yesterday evening, Ben and I booked plane tickets to visit her! Needless to say, I’m super excited- both to spend time with Ashley, whom I haven’t seen since graduation, and visit another new city and culture.

Christian Exchange Students Group
This evening, Ben and I both attended the first meeting of the Christian Exchange Students group, hosted by Westlake Church Lausanne. While the meeting itself was fairly small- maybe 20 or so people- the talk was by the amazing Thomas Rizzo, the EPFL’s Dean of Basic Sciences. Rizzo spoke about the mixing of Faith and Science, and, as both an accomplished scientist and a Christian, his message was informed, relevant, and inspiring.
Although the Christian Exchange Student group only meets once a month, there will be a weekly Bible study Ben and I are both hoping to attend and several ski trips this winter that I am already excited about. It's difficult to look out at the Alps every day and not think about how much fun it would be to ski down them!
Beans and Veggies and Rice—oh my!
Although it took Ben and me a few tries to determine what constituted good spaghetti sauce in Lausanne, our mixed beans, veggies, and rice was perfected on the first try.

Ever Growing
Remember my blue-stained cells from before? Remember how my image only showed two of them? Look what happens when you add in a little growth factor….

It’s not a ground-breaking research discovery (it’s not really a discovery at all), but I still always enjoy watching (and imaging) all the molecules I've read so much about actually do what the textbooks say they do.
