This is my blog. Mostly it is a place to share the things that I have been up to with my family and friends. I also use it to remind myself of what I have done and where I have been - sort of like a surrogate online memory...

How do fruit flies process lipids?
As a young child, I used to wonder to myself whether the humble fruit fly had a liver.
Unfortunately nobody could answer my childish question.
That was until I met Keno, who embarked upon a mission to find out.
One PhD later, and Keno has published his finding in Nature! Congratulations Keno!
Now I know that the fruit fly does indeed have lipid processing cells. I thought as much!

OH MY GOD!!! I am in AWE of Keno!!! Nature!!! That is pretty amazing! Do you think his eureka moment came when he was puffing on a shisha? (I hope this is the same Keno as the one I met on Sat, otherwise I apologise!).
As for Stevo's rahter 'curious' imagination as a child, I can only say, you poor thing......
