Most of Dr. Haselkorn's research is in the genetics of various algaes and other really tiny plants. Many of his dicoveries, and those of his students over the years, have translated into human health-related breakthroughs. Here he is standing next to a batch of algae being grown in his lab.]]> Paul Braun photo Fri, 03 Jun 2016 13:05:00 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=20166 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=20166
Dr. Haselkorn is a distinguished professor of molecular genetics and cellular biology. He's also one of the folks I support at work. After talking to him and researching his history, I discovered that he's been at the University of Chicago since 1961, a year longer than I've been on the planet. He has an impressive academic and professional history, including fellowships in several distinguished scientific societies, is on the board of others, chair of one. I saw an interesting photo oppportunity. I asked Dr. Haselkorn to leave his office just the way it is - that is the desk of a man deep in his work. He is semi-retired now, but is continuing his research and still making important discoveries.]]> Paul Braun photo Wed, 01 Jun 2016 16:37:41 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18030 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18030
This couple took one of my tours at the Robie House, and afterwards told me that they had been the owners of one of the Suntop Homes in Pennsylvania. It's opportunities like this that keep the volunteer gig at Robie fun.]]> Paul Braun photo Tue, 17 May 2016 12:44:05 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17926 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17926
We buy our funnel cakes from this booth every year. The nice young ladies weren't sure why I'd want a photo, but they obliged anyway.]]> Paul Braun photo Thu, 13 Aug 2015 12:34:56 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17924 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17924
Sheri and I went to the local county fair because we had not had our annual corn-dog-and-funnel-cake feast. This nice lady was selling corn dogs and lemonade.]]> Paul Braun photo Thu, 13 Aug 2015 12:34:56 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17234 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17234
On my way home from Robie House this past Sunday, I saw a group of families playing soccer in the Midway Plaisance, and it just looked like a fun, happy photo.]]> Paul Braun photo Mon, 18 May 2015 12:13:50 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17222 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17222

This past weekend I stopped in Indianapolis to spend some time with my old college roommate, Barry. We keep in touch on Facebook, but haven't seen each other in person in 23 years. We started talking, and before we knew it, 2 hours had passed. We need to do this more often.]]> Paul Braun photo Tue, 05 May 2015 16:38:51 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17181 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17181
Barry was my college roommate senior year. We had a cool room - we unbolted the bed frames and stored them off-campus, built a loft, put carpeting down on the floor, and painted our walls. My side looked like the cover of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and his was a reference to a song in Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway". I hadn't seen Barry in person for 23 years. We're going to make sure that doesn't happen again.]]> Paul Braun photo Tue, 05 May 2015 16:38:51 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17179 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17179
I visited my friend Steve this past weekend. He's also a ham radio operator, so after an excellent dinner (he used to own a restaurant and is still a wonderful cook) I had him pose for a photo in front of his radio setup. His 17-year-old cat is a regular on the desk.]]> Paul Braun photo Fri, 14 Aug 2015 15:58:39 -0500
