The Next Step
Sorry for the lack of posts, but alas, science (especially biology) does not wait, and things die when neglected.
Meanwhile, I have around three weeks left in my final laboratory rotation before I have to choose my thesis lab, and I’m having a hard time deciding. Coincidentally, Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology just published a two-part article called “How to succeed in science: a concise guide for young biomedical scientists.”. There are some interesting tidbits in here, and it gives an interesting, biology-centric perspective on how to look on one’s career. Part I is focused on choosing a field and a lab for graduate school and post-doctoral work. Part II focuses mostly on how to generate ideas and make discoveries. I thought both were excellent reads.
I also recently found Dent Cartoons, which is the home of the famous Nine Types cartoon trilogy. Check it out; very amazingly true!
