Four score one interview and a car wash in Lincoln, Nebraska

 

Not saying there's anything remotely corny about The Road to 50 States, but the team felt right at home in Nebraska. They received a very warm welcome from folk in The Cornhusker State, and they were all ears for more insight on the next big thing in pharma. That came from the staff at Haematological Technologies, a large molecule CRO in the state capital, Lincoln. Having had a later start to the day, which came as a luxury following some excessive days of travel, they used their time well by getting both cars valeted right next door to the location of their interview. This shucked 27 days of grime off the Tesla and Lamborghini, giving Adama a clean canvas on the Lambo for his next piece of art. He also acquiesced to a request for some art on the wall of the detail shop. Fame at last for the starving artist. After a lunch visit to the seat of learning that is the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, the crew of four sat back in the two gleaming vehicles and watched the fields of gold fly by as they motored on to Kansas.
