So, the baby is developing and they are looking for early indicators. So far, so good. Here is a picture of Maggie's most recent ultrasound, taken at about 11 weeks gestation.

New changes afoot
Well, after nearly seven years, I am finally leaving my research job. With all the changes going on right now, I felt it was time to pull the trigger and move on. I'm very excited about starting up at Amgen in a couple weeks, and with any luck will be able to establish a good working relationship with the people I'll meet there. Ideally, I'll be a known quantity by the time I finish my MBA work (estimated Dec. '09-Mar. '10), and can then more easily move into position of greater responsibility.
If for whatever reason it doesn't work out the way I'd hoped, it will still be a good pedigree addition to my CV, and will open the doors more easily for me to get in with other local biotech companies. I'm optimistic that everything will be great, and that we can then focus on getting the next phase of things going.

Seafair and the Blue Angels
This past weekend was Seafair, a longstanding Seattle tradition in the summer. It includes hydroplane races on Lake Washington, Naval fleet week where vessels come to port, and the Blue Angels come do a show.
The Blue Angels practice out of Boeing Field, the regional King County airport, which conveniently is right outside my lab window. Accordingly, we get to see some great views of their practice runs, and takeoffs and landings. Not everyone loves the Blue Angels, and it is quite the topic of strife among some of the more urbane hipsters who feel their beloved People's Republic of Seattle is under military attack, but others, including myself, see it as a great example of precision flying, loud noises, and a fun source of pride.
At any rate, I've put together a handful of clips of some of their runs. Since they practice right outside our building, their route frequently takes them immediately overhead and around us, yielding some nice shots which I hope are faithfully reproduced here. I apologize for the dirt on the windows, I assure you, it's all on the outside!

Developing embryo alpha
As some of you already know, Maggie is pregnant. If you didn't, Maggie is pregnant. Below is an image of her 6-week ultrasound. It is all very exciting, and we are looking forward to all the fun and excitement that is sure to follow.
