Sod the iPad and snowblower: here’s to girlpower!

About Steve Caplan

I am a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska where I mentor a group of students, postdoctoral fellows and researchers working on endocytic protein trafficking. My first lablit novel, "Matter Over Mind," is about a biomedical researcher seeking tenure and struggling to overcome the consequences of growing up with a parent suffering from bipolar disorder. Lablit novel #2, "Welcome Home, Sir," published by Anaphora Literary Press, deals with a hypochondriac principal investigator whose service in the army and post-traumatic stress disorder actually prepare him well for academic, but not personal success. Novel #3, "A Degree of Betrayal," is an academic murder mystery. "Saving One" is my most recent novel set at the National Institutes of Health. Now IN PRESS: Today's Curiosity is Tomorrow's Cure: The Case for Basic Biomedical Research (CRC PRESS, 2021). https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/entity/author/B006CSULBW? All views expressed are my own, of course--after all, I hate advertising.

    Our preferred method of snow removal is NephewPower (when available). $5 gets you a clear sidewalk AND a few minutes of peace and quiet! (See also: car washing, lawn mowing).

      Aren’t you in Vancouver? Half of my childhood friends live in Vancouver and swear there isn’t any snow! Could Nephew be taking unfair advantage?

    They’re right, there’s not much – but we occasionally have to dig out! And when that happens, it’s always best to delegate 🙂

    I find that Crox Minor (12) and Minima (10) can be persuaded to do all sorts of chores for a small financial consideration.
