Thoughts on science, society, and the media. Musings on Grad School and the Great Beyond. April 16, 2011 in Musings. Apologies to my small group of readers (small in number, NOT spirit! Although perhaps the grind is the grind no matter where or what. I do still have a insane passion for science and would probably be pretty happy with whatever I do as long as I get to think science.

Seemingly random but organised ramblings from an English Resident Alien. Who am I, What am I doing here? Continual Forms Of Irritation. Random Picture of The Moment. Remembering, Not Celebrating, Is What Matters Today. As my Facebook timeline continues to remind me, today is my birthday. But on July 7, 2005, the thought that I would not be in London to remember the 52 people. And not just because it was my birthday. That was immaterial. What mattered to me on that day was that my friends were cau...And t...

Seemingly random but organised ramblings from an English Resident Alien. Who am I, What am I doing here? Continual Forms Of Irritation. Random Picture of The Moment. Continual Forms Of Irritation. I have realized over the time that I have been posting my irregular thoughts through the medium of blogging, that there have been constant themes and recurring characters.

Thoughts on science, society, and the media. Richard Axel on human behavior, smell, and Woody Allen. April 27, 2011 in People. Richard Axel is a science celebrity. He is brilliant, funny, and, oh yeah, he won a Nobel Prize. And I got to sit next to him at lunch the other day! He was in town to give a talk in my department. To give us grad students a chance to brush with greatness, we are allowed to have lunch with the invited speakers (woohoo, they let us out of lab! 8211; chemicals that animals use to c...
