Former employee (definitely different location) - I got moved to "the back" because of resting bitch face.

Prof here as well - entered the job within the last 3 years. If you want to do anything other than write grants and run a lab (and especially if you want to be at a SLAC), teaching is pretty much mandatory. Teaching your own courses is more mandatory.

How do cats do in the frozen north? We have had cats in the upper midwest and now southern US. They still prefer to burrow into blankets or find sunbeams.

The team of experts was stumped because science is still advancing rapidly in the understanding of how skin grafts between different individuals progress (hence the government funding in that area of health care). Most skin grafts use the patient's own skin, so there is no mixture of cell types/DNA and no chance for rejection by the patient's immune system. This was an allogeneic graft (from a different person), which means that it could be recognized by Mitch's immune system at some point and rejected, but the experts don't know how to predict at what point or even if this will occur. It's also possible that the donor cells could spread beyond the site of the graft, taking their DNA with them.

A good open book test/quiz is much different than your run of the mill exam. I cannot stress this enough to my students, yet it never fails to bite ~20% of them on the first one.
