Congratulations Dr. Adam on your recent defense (yay). Thanks for the kind words, I have enjoyed emailing with you and discussing bone IHC. We will miss you on Histonet and I certainly hope you return to research once you have completed your clinical years (if not sooner).
Best, Andrea ________________________________ From: Adam . <anonwu...@gmail.com> To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 8:00 PM Subject: [Histonet] So long, and thanks for all the help Dear Histonet: For the past few years, I have been working on my PhD. I realized very early on in my research that immunostaining of bone would be absolutely necessary for my project, although the initial attempts in our lab to do that were not particularly satisfying. I tried talking to various local people, who gave me some good advice, but it was not until I found HistoNet that I really began to understand how to attack such a frustrating problem. I began my project with my PI telling me that staining of bone would be impossible. I wish I could take credit for proving him wrong, but in reality, I'm showing him the results I get when I follow all the advice that I read here. I have found all members of HistoNet so incredibly knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and funny. It really is amazing that such a great online community could be gathered, focusing on such a technical field (I've subscribed to some other forums where people aren't quite as nice). I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all the discussions ranging from advice on how to decalcify coral to silly jokes and stories passed around. In particular I would like to thank two members of this group: Andrea Hooper and Gayle Callis. They have corresponded with me extensively both on and off the board and have been incredibly helpful in accomplishing my work. I honestly do not think my thesis project could have been finished without their assistance. If we ever physically cross paths, I will totally buy you two a drink and a meal. Fortunately (unfortunately?), I have to move on with my life. I am an MD/PhD student, so in a few days I need to return to the hospital working long hours, frantically trying to relearn what I forgot years ago. Alas, my friends tell me I will barely have time to sleep, and certainly not enough time to read HistoNet. I am thus unsubscribing from the list until I need to do such staining again, when I am back in research. Can you please unsubscribe me? I'm joking. I've read enough of those e-mails to know how to unsubscribe properly. Anyhow, I would like to reiterate my thanks to the group. You are an amazing group of people.
