Note about >$40 taxi fee It looks like my taxi driver was honest. I went to a website that estimates taxi fares from starting and ending locations. The estimated cost was the exact price of my trip to the dollar so it looks like that taxi driver was honest. The trip is just actually that expensive ($42).

Miscellaneous notes from trip good restaurants recommended by taxi driver Mcgale Mexican food as well as the Brigantine (owned by the same company) (next to each other) (located near the fancy old wooden "The Del" hotel") my room number was 4215

TALENs (similar to zinc fingers) TALEN (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nuclease) Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs) are artificial restriction enzymes generated by fusing the TAL effector DNA binding domain to a DNA cleavage domain. TALENs were mentioned to me by a guy that worked for a company in Wisconsin that was trying to make products to induce cells to become iPSCs.

Some people possibly associated with inventing DNA vaccines and/or gene gun Stephen Johnston Jeff Ulmer David Weinberg Deborah Fuller

I think some company named PowderJect (part of Novartis) makes something related to DNA vaccines. I think Deborah mentioned their name.
