I saw something earlier. I didn't--
-
I didn't make a connection to it or to the partner,
-
but he has a study on anthrax.
-
He has an annotated bibliography, table of contents.
-
It's formatted like a thesis
-
and has writing in the margins in red ink,
-
like the way a teacher grades a paper.
-
Now, Nichols wouldn't have let just anyone in here,
-
but he may have opened his lab
-
for educational purposes, as a teacher.
-
So the partner must have appealed to him as a student.
-
Nichols is helping him with his thesis.
