Oh no! I was a research assistant for Dr. Muria in the early 90's. Such a smart dude, an expert on recombinant DNA. One of the experiments was altering rice genome to have them produce more balanced protein (rice is defiant in the amino acids cysteine and methionine).
He was a reserved yet very disciplined man, so when he complimented you it was a big deal. He helped me in many ways, including getting a better paying job at a UDSA genetics lab after funding for his project ran out.
RIP to a great man!

What part of Stanford?
Almost exactly where the bridge is near W Lakeshore drive.

When I lived in University Hills I would see him jogging along Stanford on the sidewalk in the East Lakeshore - the park area in the mornings on my way to work (2008-2014). I remember it because he always had a look of either intense pain or extreme exhaustion on his face as he ran so I would think to myself "and that's why I don't jog."
I don't mind the shareways in the area but bicyclists have to understand they are still taking their lives into their hands if it's not a dedicated bike lane because so many drivers are so easily distracted by their phones.

I'm sorry that this professor was killed in this accident.
Baton Rouge is not made for bicyclists. Many people drive too damn fast in this town , only just to reach the next traffic light that is RED.
In the last month I have noticed an uptick of crazy driving in BR. People passing on the shoulder, using turn lanes for passing traffic, driving on the medians. Perhaps it is everywhere but I have also noticed less Policemen.
Drive safe,
Don'take unecessary risks.

Why so Huffy?

Very suprised this doesn’t happen more often. The sidewalk is very narrow and cars are routinely going over 40 mph.
I swear people go 50-60 on the regular… police need to heavily patrol the area. It’s absolutely absurd the lack of decency some drivers display.

Pretty sure this is the jogger. Been seeing him jog periodically for the last 20 years. Saw him Friday am. Story breaks my heart

I think he was the one who wore the orange vest when he ran, the area at Stanford and that Bridge is brutal for people flying in or out of college town, sad no matter how you view it...

There was a thread a good while back about how dangerous this area is and how cars go way too fast.
Can anyone dig that up?
Maybe change will finally happen. It's a real shame it took what we knew could happen.

Sounds like the speed limit needs to be dropped.

That would limit cyclists to maybe 3 roads in the entire city to ride on.
We gave them the velodrome. What more do they need?
