But we gotta know what they are first. I bring that up because I was just discussing with one of my postdocs two molecules of that sort that we recently found that we're in the process of trying to do that with. But as the science, as the engineers and the computational people and all that Coming up with all these magical new things that I couldn't even dream of five years ago.

I mean, that's how fast it moves. There's stuff we're doing now that I wouldn't even have guessed that we'd be doing five years ago. That it's just such a fascinating time to be in biology. And I don't know, my motto is, I mean, I've always been fascinated in science and biology and everything. just as a, you might as well do something on the area of something that helps people.

Cause you know, I mean, I like, I got into it initially because I just, you know, my family situation, but on the other hand, it's, it's fun and it's, it's rewarding and, and it helps people too. And so I think that, you know, you're,

A lot of it's drudgery, too, but it's, you know, it's just puzzle solving with the tools that we're getting that are coming, you know, from bioengineers and computational people are just allowing us to ask questions that we couldn't even have dreamed of.

By the way, I see you have a guitar. Do you play much?

By the way, I see you have a guitar. Do you play much?

I'll tell you one funny one. I had a knee replacement last, what was it last year? Yeah. Anyway, and Willie, I play with him occasionally, but he asked me to come to Austin. I'm in Houston. His 4th of July picnic's in Austin. So I said, would you come down? I mean, he didn't, but his wife and his harmonica player is a friend of mine. So Jim, come down and join us. I said, I can't.

I just had knee surgery and I don't want to go down there. They said, well, we just happened that they were playing at this place called the Woodlands, which is just north of Houston near this lake where I have a lake house that I was recuperating from the surgery there. They said, well, hell, we're going to be there on Saturday night. So why don't you come and play there?

I said, well, I can't walk very well. They said, well, get a wheelchair. I said, okay, okay. So my son got a wheelchair. We got some friends. We went down, wheeled me in. I'm still on the edge of the stage. And so I was waiting to play, but I still wasn't sure I could go out there. And one song came by and they said, come out. And I said, no, I can't. I can't stand yet.

I was in a wheelchair, I had a cane. Anyway, Willie got into the gospel. He always closes his concerts with a gospel medley. I saw the light, will the circle be broken? I'll fly away, you know, all the... Great old song. Anyway, so that's so much fun to play. And, you know, he said, you know, Mickey, you know, waves me out there. He had a microphone for me. I just said, no.

And Willie's wife got behind me and said, Allison, get your ass out. So anyway, so I jumped up and took a couple of steps before I didn't even think, you know, I just stood up and had a cane in one hand, a harmonica in the other. And then I realized this isn't going to do because I need both hands when I get out there.
