Steve Perlman was Matt's supervisor for his postdoc, but also my Masters supervisor, and Logan's undergraduate Honour's supervisor. We each overlapped in his lab. The honour of S. perlmani is so well-deserved. Steve is a fantastic scientist and human being.

Over the moon for Matt, for Logan, and for Steve. This is just so cool.

You really have to check out the supp videos.

CEO: We need to cut costs.

Accountant: Okay. We paid you $50 million last year. We spent $10 million on your private jet flights and luxury hotel accommodations. For some reason you are being paid $1 million for this 45 minute meeting.

CEO: I see. Who's that in the hallway?

Accountant: That's Greg. He is the only thing keeping this company from falling apart. We pay him in nickels and Grubhub gift cards.

CEO: Fire Greg.
