More of Moscow and a Short Research Update

Here are some more pictures of Moscow that I have collected. The temperature hovers around 0 degrees Celsius, and we could have snow any day. This coming Friday, we are going to a hockey championship game, which should be amazing.

My bedroom


Chase sitting on my bed



Chase and Susan at the Garden of the Fallen Monuments


Lenin in marble at the Garden of the Fallen Monuments
(he looks better in marble than he does in his mausoleum - yuck)


One of the fountains near Red Square


Inside the Goom super-luxury mall


Inside the substitute theater for the actual Bolshoi theater (which is under construction)


My translation of the Russian phage therapy papers is coming along and I am halfway through my first translation. I'll have it up on the blog by the middle of November. The paper is about phage-typing of Staphylococcus Aureus, which is an out-dated technique, but I'll finish the translation anyways since I'm halfway done already. I am also digging up English, Polish, and even Finnish papers on Staph Aureus phage technology that are very interesting.
