I was under the impression this occasion called for cake

One year ago on this exact day, I started this job.

In the past year, I have:

-received tongue cancer in the mail (for a gift)

-purchased leukemia

-developed a line of cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy*

-sorted and catalogued a collection of approx. 410 tumors and tissue samples

-made animated cartoons about zinc and cell death (they're real nail-biters)

And a lot of other stuff that doesn't translate well to interesting blog lists. Trust me.
