Ain't we lucky we got 'em....Good times!

As I'm sure you do, I like to browse the greeting card section at Walgreens and select cards that would be perfect to send myself. Yesterday, I found one of those cards that breaks into song when you open it. It was a congratulations card and this was the song. What am I celebrating? The totally unexpected awesomeness of NIH deciding last Friday to fund a grant that was scored highly but missed the original payline. They changed the payline (the funding cutoff), and voila!, I now have money to go back to the Philippines and get some major science action. Whoo!

Good times, people!

Put this in my good news folder!
