well, the reason i joke about all my free time is that i don't have a ton. i recently finished my PhD in biomedical sciences and started a postdoc on november 1 of last year. i also am a registered yoga teacher (RYT200) and teach yoga several mornings a week. since starting my postdoc in the biochemistry and molecular biology department of a US medical school, it has been a true whirlwind--I scrambled to get preliminary data, wrote a grant application for the american heart association (cross your fingers!), got an late-breaking abstract submitted for the american thoracic society meeting in denver of this year, and just two days ago, gave a big talk. it's time to regroup. i have barely recovered from writing my dissertation last summer and defending in October of last year. it's time to start this blog.
so, what's this blog abou
t? well, if you are not yet bored to tears, i like science. i LOVE fashion and art. i love creative people and odd things. this blog will showcase my ideas and thoughts...it will give insight into what it's like to be a postdoc, and of course what i dream about...which are warm sunny days filled with light and those little dandelion seeds that float through the air -- you know, the ones that make you feel like you are in a dream, or at the very least, in an old polaroid. this blog will probably make little coherent sense. ha. but at least there might be some good stories. and maybe a cool photo or two. oh, and great clothes. or at least stolen (with references!) photos of great clothes.
viva la science! (oh, did i mention i am also obsessed with paris?)
