The other day I came across an interview with Dr. Denise Faustman. She's an associate professor at Harvard University and the director at the Immunobiology Laboratory at Massachusettes General Hospital, where she's worked since 1985.

Yesterday I started rewatching Prison Break since there's a lack of new and interesting shows on Netflix. Protagonist Michael Scofield pretends to have type 1 diabetes in order to get access to the infirmary when he needs daily insulin injections. It made me wonder about…

In another life, I worked a few months in a Lebanese restaurant. The owner was a crazy cokehead who cheated on his wife with a nineteen-year-old waitress, but the food was good. Lockman the chef made the most brilliant dolma (rice-filled grape leaves) and sawar…
