Beautiful snow coated view of an apartment complex 's community center and pool with soft light illuminating everything
Video of Nick walking around his apartment complex in the midst of the rare coastal North Carolina snowstorm. The sound that you can hear in the background is the sound of the small like hard icy flakes hitting the freshly fallen surface. Basically everything that you can see is covered in. You know about an inch to 2 in of snow and you know even things like the apartment complexes pool which is kind of a weird side-by-side.

"Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your stockroom and select, I don't know, that slap-shod acrylamide because you're trying to tell investors that you take trends too seriously to care about how you append your covalent label. But what you don't know is that alkene isn't just an alkene, it's not just electron-poor, it's actually a Michael acceptor. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Carlos Barbas did some beautiful enantioselective additions to Michael acceptors." CJ: "And then I think it was DuPont, wasn’t it, who showed polyimide military jackets?" "And then Michael acceptors quickly showed up in the collections of eight different oncological candidates. Then it filtered down through the PKCs and then trickled on down into some tragic "broad spectrum biocide" you bought from a nondescript CRO. However, that FG represents mils of $s and countless jobs and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the pharm industry when, in fact, you’re using a FG that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”
