A little-known or interesting thing about you...

I met my wife while she was doing ERGs on rabbits and when I was testing intravitreal injections of a new drug called BW-B759u for CMV retinitis, in a disease that was newly emerging back then, called AIDS. We showed that it could be safely injected into the eye, and this drug is now called ganciclovir. We were engaged three weeks later.
