[ Genetic experimentation naturally sends John to thinking about Baskerville, the glowing rabbits and the terrible secret of hounds. Someone else to bounce theories off - of course she is.
What he hears of her sounds a bit familiar, but the real recognition lights John's eyes when Sherlock introduces them (indulgence of formalities? good sign). ]
We've spoken before, actually. The forensic anthropologist.
[ John makes his way across the room, coming up next to Sherlock on the couch. He deposits three slightly damp, paper bags in Sherlock's lap, his eyes remaining on Brennan the whole time as if he were simply setting them on the sofa itself. The bags vary in diameter, but the tops on all of them are twisted shut. Probably made it easier to carry them one-handed, but perhaps Sherlock will use it to his advantage to make deductions before he opens them.

Good to finally meet you in person.
