Happy New Years, Everyone!

Posted by Eric at 4:33 pm | Category: Personal

2008. The past year’s been quite a blast!

Let’s see, I applied to three fellowships and eight graduate schools, visited four graduate schools and chose one of them, graduated from college with a degree (well, two) in chemistry, attended the first wedding I’d ever been to, took a trip to Madrid, moved from Boston to New Jersey, and entered graduate school to go for a Ph.D. in biology!

Along the way, I learned a whole heck of a lot of biology, from biophysics to cell biology to genetics and computational biology. I also discovered what may be differentially regulated protein localization in yeast gametes versus newly-formed zygotes. All in all, a very productive year!

    I’m happy to know you achieved so many goals in 2007.

    I just arrived at your blog and I think it’s amazing.

    Anyway, I really liked your post about how Science moves fast. It shows one of the many things I like in Science: it’s always evolving.

    Please keep posting while you still have some spare time (I’ve heard grad school is very time-demanding)

    Best wishes for you and for all your readers.

    Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog so far!

    I really hope to keep blogging throughout graduate school; of course, sometimes there will be dry periods (probably next winter, when I study for my general exams), but I think that as long as I do this in my spare time, I should be able to keep it up!
