Ben Garcia stands in front of a bookcase lined with past printed issues of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, which have green covers and gold lettering. He is holding one of the journals open to his 2007 article "Organismal Differences in Post-translational Modifications in Histones H3 and H4."
Full circle moment!
