Brief Bio

I was born and raised in Kalamazoo MI. I earned my bachelors of science in biology from Western Michigan University. I met and fell in love with a big goof of a man named Cliff. I have a fat lazy cat named Kerby and a dog named Bear.

From New Scientist, a list of how life could have started. I haven’t seen a detailed list like this on abiogeneses. Most of the research looks at replication or metabolism. This ties both together for the first time.

What I don’t get…

October 13th, 2009 at 8:29 pm (News)

From the Financial Times, that a scientist that is working on LHC would even do anything to throw away the dream job. This is the kind of job that I’m sure people would kill to get.

For me, it’s been frustrating that I’ve been unable to get and keep a job even closely related to my field. Right now I’m unemployed and wondering if I’ll ever get a job in my field and that any skills that I had are of no use because biology lab procedures are evolving at such a rapid pace that I’m completely useless. Sorry this has become a “poor me” mope.
