A space oddity

What is a space oddity? A David Bowie song, yes, but it is also one of the weird and wonderful things you can find in offices, labs and other spaces of NEOMED.

What is it?

Nestled between a couple of College-related mementos are a Tupac figurine and a handmade Pepto Bismol plushie.

Where is it?

In the office of Katherine (Kat) Tromp, Pharm.D., interim dean of the College of Pharmacy

Why is it there?

These are just a couple of the oddities in Dr. Tromp’s office.

The Tupac figurine was a Mother’s Day gift from her husband – after all roses wilt, chocolate gets eaten, but Tupac figurines are forever.

The Pepto Bismol plushie was a gift from a former student who found the item at a craft show and immediately thought of Dr. Tromp, who says the bright pink liquid is her favorite medicine.
