Me – in front of high school students

Hello. I love DNA and molecular genetics. This is my first blog so please be patient while I work out the kinks.

I’m not a good bench scientist – or cook. I’m the one who would spill phenol (yep, on a Sat night) or set my hair on fire (did that too). I think the scientific world breathed a collective sigh of relief when I hung up my labcoat.

We have another guest author! Sarah is going to share some of her experiments in cooking.

Lisa is one of the new guest authors for this blog. She is exploring video and other ways to explain science concepts. Please give her a warm welcome!

Ben is one of the new guest authors for this blog. Like genegeek, he is using the blogging platform to improve his writing and overall science communication. Please welcome and encourage him!

here has the time gone? January was busy but this blog missed out. Missing a month of posts made me ask: Do I procrastinate? My initial reaction: Yes! But after some research and reflection, I’ve settled on: It depends. I think everyone is on a spectrum of procrastination and some tasks seem to invite more delay.

This section has photos from our travels, including Antarctica, the Galapagos, Easter Island, Machu Picchu… We will not have vacation photos of the beach but will stick to the more academic-minded journeys.
