Biochemist pretending real hard that I’m a microbiologist, when I actually wish I was an entomologist. I research, teach, and serve at Cornhusker U. GBR!
ASBMB must have cringed at a later date and taken that down since it now 404’s. But yeah that was a doozie.

No harm other than a strip of sod torn out, but the chunks of wheel and body panel they left in the yard after fleeing on the rim…well, we’re glad no one was hurt 😬

George Beadle is kneeling with the dog. This was just before he went to work with Ed Tatum. Charles Burnham is top left, went on to U of Minnesota and worked on cereal breeding of various sorts.

Don’t forget George Beadle and the dog (whose name I used to know but have forgotten)

There used to be a fast neutron source in the basement of the PRL, and a bunch of different high specific activity radionuclides related to nuclear weapons testing, but they may have been disposed of in the 80’s or 90’s.
