All Roads Lead to . . .
If you had told me four years ago that I would be working in consulting, I would have responded with a question: “What’s consulting? And, why am I doing it?” As recent as a year ago, I was positive that I would be pursuing a PhD in Systems Biology (or, as it is sometimes referred to, Computational Biology or [...]
Blogger Beta
I’ve just updated my Blogger site to Blogger Beta which includes numerous new features such as dynamic loading of pages (it will generate pages on the fly as opposed to creating and pulling up static pages), integration with my other Google accounts, the conversion of the archives from a static list of months to a [...]
First Time Post
This is my first Blogger post, just to see if this works. Which it obviously does if you (or myself) are looking at it.
