8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. EEG to twitter. So what else is new? So interfaces with EEG have been around for a while. But since the technology to make and analyze EEGs are getting it was time somebody did something inane with it. Once you’ve found a new way to input text – what are you going to do with it? Use it to Twitter, of course! Also EEG has been explored as an interface for music. Posted by futureBen at 11:15 am.

8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Friday, June 19, 2009. Should have stayed home. I am in a mood. It is unfair to completly blame my state upon the absence of my lover although that poor situation most certainly exacerbates this affliction. Everything around me is moving a little too fast and I feel uncomfortable in my skin. At once tired and restless I have been wandering Brooklyn for 3 hours one step behind synchronicity. This moment quickly passed as the batteries...

8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Friday, April 3, 2009. It’s a rainy day. When it’s like that outside I find little things to do around the lab. I have a series of surgeries next week so I better get all my scissors sharp and organized! Posted by Futureben at 9:02 am. Feed for comments on this post. Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time. Structural Bio Student Lunch!

8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Monday, April 6, 2009. From the DART Biotech awards. Damn I have to geek out here for a minute. I am listening to this dude give a tlk on the lambda repressor. It’s been 20 minutes of rambling about how life is just mass action and kinetics. He has the smug confidence of a man who doesn’t know how dated he is. Denying Systems Biology is the new Inteligent Design. Sirt1 stimulates BDNF production. Who is taking a systems approach?

8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Wednesday, June 9, 2010. Sharing with E.coli. I am back in construct design mode, and a deeper lesson just dawned on me. I have been playing with a human protein in a human cell. It’s the metal transporter DMT1 that I will be talking about in Kyoto next week. Not surprisingly, this protein is tightly regulated at every level. How do I get around that problem? Posted by Futureben at 8:26 pm. Monday, April 2, 2007. I would guess that s...

8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Welcome to the new home of Imagenode and NYCSparkworks! TwinS and Ray needed professional workspace and I needed art and storage. Admittedly I am the financial junior partner on this, but I won’t need the same kind of floorspace those two use. Plus U will contribute to infrastructure as much as I can. Posted by Futureben at 7:27 pm. Sunday, March 15, 2009. On Set with Blank Dogs. Posted by Futureben at 8:07 am.

8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Saturday, January 14, 2006. This is the first Larry Niven book I ever read, and I have to say it was the best. Imagine. Lord of the Flies. Posted by futureBen at 8:37 pm. Tuesday, January 10, 2006. It’s likely that this kitten was a sport who happened to have non functioning Shh, but the most common occurence of cyclopism comes from Jevine poisoning. This chemical comes a plant veratrum californicum. It affects mainly s...

8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Monday, April 20, 2009. Barry the Worm. Coolest segmented worm ever? Its good to know that no matter where you go or what you do, you will never be as badass as a 4ft long polychaete worm coated with nematocyst stingers. Barry, you are the, “Shaft” of the animal kingdom. Thank you for putting things in perspective. From the Daily Mail. Halfway through the process the predator was revealed as a four-foot polychaete worm. 8216;That wor...

8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Saturday, September 11, 2010. I didn’t win the prize. First off I want to be clear that I didn’t expect to win the young investigator’s award. OK, I am still bitter about it, but I am bitter about lot’s of stuff. So while I am not particularly upset about not winning, it was the finalists who really irritated me. 8221; Wow, mail that back to 1988 when it wasn’t taught in first year immunology! Posted by Futureben at 8:34 pm. I am bac...

8220;this exciting but somewhat risky project.” -futureBen’s committee. Thursday, September 9, 2010. I am in Kyoto right now. Really I am! This is my second time in this city. It’s the 3rd if you count the time came through just to eat Anago at the Nishiki market. I am here for an imaging conference, but I am taking the opportunity to stay at a ryokan and absorb the culture as best I can. I am not entirely comfortable with that fact. I took Spanish and Mandarin and do my best to pick up what Japanese...
